Madrid, junction between Europe and the Americas
Through the Madrid hub (MAD), passengers departing from Italian destinations can continue to Iberia's network in Latin America, the most extensive of European airlines, and to North America. The frequencies from Italy are combined with the company's long-haul connections , which include several daily flights to Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Mexico City and New York, expanding the possibilities of connection between the two continents.
The initiative is part of the 2030 Flight Plan, the strategy with which Iberia aims to consolidate network and connectivity through its Madrid hub. With a planned investment of €6 billion, the airline plans to further expand the destinations served, renew and enhance the fleet and improve the passenger experience in the coming years.
