IBERIA EXPRESS

An efficient airline

Iberia Express is an airline company based in Madrid operating short and medium-haul flights. The airline started operations in March 2012 and, since then, has been amongst the top four airlines to fly out of Barajas, exceeding 2.8 million passengers and 23,000 flights in its first year of activity, and an average punctuality rate of 94%.

The airline company - one hundred percent owned by Iberia - was created in order to compete in an ever complicated market in an efficient and sustainable manner. Iberia Express profitably provides its parent company with connections and direct transit and, as such, supports Iberia's long-haul growth.

Thanks to the creation of Iberia Express, the group can offer its clients more affordable fares, with the same level of service quality and the experience of Spain's top airline company. The passenger can therefore expect the same benefits as flying with Iberia on a day to day basis: operations at main airports, Iberia Plus program, VIP rooms, on-board service and attention, Business class, multi-frequent flights, connections to over 100 destinations, and the recognized security that the company`s maintenance offers in its position as one of the best in the world.

During 2012, Iberia Express operated a total of 24 routes within Spain and Europe, with a fleet of 14 Airbus A320 aircraft. The company currently has codeshare agreements with LAN Airlines, Qantas Airways, Air Berlin, Japan Airlines, American Airlines, Avianca, Finnair, British Airways and Siberia Airlines.

Iberia Express' Management Committee - led by Fernando Candela - has made a great effort in order to select and train the very best professionals that make up this young, friendly and agile airline, capable of competing in the market with a business plan that makes it completely able to financially support itself.

The airline headquarters, based in Barajas close to Terminal 4 of the airport, include 1,900m2 of office space designed under the concept of "open space", and match the philosophy of the company.
