An Expanding Airline Operation
The opening of Espacio Iberia in Buenos Aires coincides with the airline’s increased capacity in Argentina. Currently, Iberia operates three daily flights between Buenos Aires and Madrid, transporting over 2,000 passengers per day.
In 2025, the airline will offer more than 725,000 seats on this route, setting a historic record. Argentina, along with Colombia and Mexico, is one of Iberia’s most connected long-haul markets.
The flights are operated with Airbus A350s, state-of-the-art aircraft that ensure greater efficiency and a 30–35% reduction in CO2 emissions.
Gemma Juncá, Iberia’s Director of Brand and Marketing, emphasized the importance of the Argentine market for the airline: “Argentina is a priority market for us, as it was with this route that we began our history in Latin America nearly 80 years ago. With Espacio Iberia, we aim to repay the trust Argentines have placed in us for so many years.”
