Iberia add more flights to Central American

Iberia has launched new flights to Central America.

These new flights will fly to San Salvador and Panama direct from Madrid. Previously these flights went via Guatemala.

Iberia now flies to four Central American countries including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Panama.

The flights to Central America from Iberia’s new Madrid Terminal 4 hub are all direct, and are timed to ensure easy convenient connections for passengers flying to or from Germany.

From Terminal 4 Iberia operates 13 flights each day to and from Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin and Dusseldorf. From Madrid Iberia flies to 17 Latin American cities and 4 destinations in the United States, to 10 cities in Africa and the Middle East, and to 35 in Spain.

The flights to Panama City and San Salvador will use the Airbus A-340/300 aircraft with a passenger capacity of 254 people. Iberia predicts passenger levels of around 40,000 to San Salvador and over 80,000 to Panama City next year.

With Central America increasing in popularity as a holiday destination Iberia is taking steps to improve connections with other countries within Central America.

“It is very pleasing for Central America and the whole travel industry to see Iberia making this investment in Central America and proves that the region is increasing in popularity. The whole region has so much to offer tourists and holidaymakers, it is important to have the infrastructure in place to cope with demand and make the whole of Central America easily accessible.” Said Nigel Thomas, Managing Director, Hidden Trails Limited
