Iberia Begins Countdown to Its Centenary: Unveils Commemorative Livery and Event Program

With one hundred days remaining before the formal launch of celebrations, Iberia has unveiled the roadmap of events and milestones scheduled throughout 2027 to commemorate its first century of operations.

A Century of Connectivity: The 2027 Commemorative Program

During the official presentation, Iberia CEO and Chairman Marco Sansavini revealed the initiatives designed to mark this milestone alongside passengers, employees, institutions, corporate partners, and the wider public. Key highlights include the introduction of a special Centenary livery, which will be painted on selected aircraft across the carrier’s fleet.
