Iberia launches record summer
Spain’s Iberia announced its biggest summer schedule ever — over 21 million seats and new transatlantic and intra‑European routes launching March 29, 2026. The expansion is pitched as a major capacity boost to U.S., Canada, Latin America and European travel corridors for summer bookings (travelandtourworld.com).
Iberia will start five‑times‑weekly nonstop service between Madrid and Toronto Pearson from June 13, 2026, marking the carrier’s first direct link to Canada and to be operated with A321XLR equipment on the seasonal schedule.

(agencias.iberia.com) Two new European seasonal routes were added: Madrid–Bucharest (two weekly services from June 3 to Sept 30, 2026) and Madrid–Tivat (twice weekly, running mid‑July to mid‑September). (iberia.com) Iberia plans to deploy 1,280,254 seats to the U.S. and Canada with up to 166 weekly transatlantic frequencies, including a new daily Madrid–Newark A321XLR that complements existing JFK services.
