Iberia moves to the new Terminal 8 in John F. Kennedy Airport in New York

The Terminal 8 covers an area equivalent to twice the size of Madison Square Garden in New York and will accommodate around 10 million passengers a year.

The investment made and the new location at T8 will provide an improved and seamless experience for customers, while supporting the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's ambitious plan to transform JFK into a key global airport.

Iberia has already started its winter season, -which goes from 29 October to 25 March-, marked by the recovery of all its pre-pandemic capacity and a firm commitment to the US market. The United States continues to be a priority market for Iberia, with the airline offering more flights and seats than in the same period of 2019. Specifically, it plans to offer 589,000 seats, an increase of 15% compared to 2019, and around 2,000 flights, 21% more than the year before the pandemic.

 

Likewise, Iberia also announces changes in terms of destinations. The flights to Dallas, which were initially launched to operate in the summer only, will be maintained during the winter season, initially with three weekly frequencies, which will gradually increase until reaching a daily flight starting in June. Iberia's program in the US is complemented by three weekly flights to Boston, another three to Los Angeles and another five weekly flights to Chicago.
