Iberia Express strengthens flights from Madrid during the winter
The winter schedule will add 12% more seats and 7% more flights. The Balearic Islands will have 827,000 seats and the Canary Islands will exceed 1.7 million on routes from Madrid.
Canarias will have more than 1.7 million seats in Iberia Express’s winter schedule, a 29% increase compared to 2025. The airline will increase flights to the archipelago by 25%.
In total, it will operate 386 weekly flights to Canarias, with more capacity to all the islands. Gran Canaria y Tenerife will have an average of ten flights per day in each direction, including connections to both the north and south airports of Tenerife.
Madrid will have between three and four daily flights each way to Lanzarote, and between two and three to Fuerteventura. La Palma will have one daily frequency, rising to two flights each way during weeks of higher demand.
Baleares adds 827,000 seats
The offer to Baleares will grow by 38% in both seats and flights. Iberia Express will make 827,000 seats available and schedule nearly 200 weekly flights between Madrid and the archipelago.
The connection to Mallorca will reach up to 12 daily flights each way, spread across different time slots. Up to six daily flights each way will be offered to Ibiza.
This increase aims to make travel between the islands and the mainland easier during the months of lower tourist activity. It also aims to encourage visitors to come in winter.
More seats on international routes
Dublin will have 46% more capacity, reaching 79,000 seats during the season. In Marrakech, the increase will be 43%, with 100,000 seats planned.
The seasonal route to Reykjavik will begin operating on 27 February. Iberia Express is bringing forward the start of this connection to make it easier to travel to Iceland in winter, including trips to see its snowy landscapes and the northern lights.
12% more seats in winter
The airline’s overall schedule will include 12% more seats and 7% more flights compared to the previous year. Growth will be supported by greater use of the Airbus A321neo, which has capacity for 232 passengers.
The commercial director of Iberia Express, Isabel Rodríguez, said that connections with Canarias y Baleares will maintain a stable schedule throughout the year. She explained that the timetables and flexibility are designed for frequent travellers and those visiting the islands in winter.
The schedule from Madrid aims to make travel easier for residents of both archipelagos and to connect with the Iberia group’s international network. Flights will be spread throughout the day. This approach will allow journeys between the capital and the islands to be combined with connections to other destinations in the network.
