This will mean an increase in Iberia’s total seat capacity on this route. In the winter season alone in Europe there will be almost 125,000 seats connecting Europe with the Caribbean island, which represents a growth of more than 20% compared to last year and 50% compared to the figures before the pandemic, in 2019.
More Premium Economy seats
In addition to the overall increase in seat capacity between Spain and the Dominican Republic, another new feature of the upcoming winter season is that the A330-300 will be used to a greater extent on this route.
The main change it generates with respect to the A330-200 with which this route is commonly operated is that it has more seats and offers customers the Premium Economy seats, a totally differentiated cabin that, for a small difference in price, has wider and more comfortable seats, larger screens, more reclining capacity and legroom and a differentiated in-flight experience, with a different menu served on tableware, among other aspects.
Iberia will operate the route between Madrid and Santo Domingo up to five times a week with the A330-300.
