Iberia is set to expand its long-haul operations across Latin America for the 2025-2026 winter season, reinforcing its position as the leading carrier between Europe and the region. The airline announced it will offer more than 355 weekly flights and approximately 2.4 million seats, marking a record level of transatlantic connectivity.
The most significant growth will occur in Chile, Peru and the Dominican Republic. Service to Santiago, Chile, will increase by two weekly flights, bringing the total to 12 and offering more than 176,000 seats—up 20% from the previous winter.
In Peru, flights between Lima and Madrid will rise from 13 to 14 per week, allowing for two daily departures and accommodating around 1,360 passengers each day.
Service to Santo Domingo will also expand, with up to 13 weekly flights scheduled during peak months. Iberia plans to offer about 142,000 seats between Spain and the Dominican Republic over the course of the season.
The remainder of Iberia’s Latin American schedule will remain consistent with last winter’s expanded operations, solidifying previous capacity increases. Buenos Aires, Bogotá, and Mexico City will each continue to see three daily round-trip flights, totaling 21 weekly frequencies per destination.
In Brazil, São Paulo will maintain 14 weekly flights—two per day—while Rio de Janeiro will be served up to five times per week.
Daily service will continue to Quito, San José, San Juan, and Montevideo, with seven weekly flights each. Caracas will see five weekly departures, while San Salvador and Guatemala City will each have four. Guayaquil, Panama City, and Havana will continue with three weekly flights apiece.
“Our goal is not only to strengthen our leadership between Europe and Latin America, but also to provide a stable and consistent schedule that reflects the trust our customers place in us,” said María Jesús López Solás, Iberia’s Director of Network Development, Alliances and Customers. “These planned increases are designed to enhance travel options and further consolidate our presence in the region.”
The expanded schedule will take effect with the start of the winter travel season later this year.
