The Spanish airline will fly to Dubrovnik from June 7th to October 12th and will operate three return flights on Tuesday, Saturdays and Sundays in July, August and September. In June and October, it will offer two weekly flights, on Saturdays and Sundays, between Madrid and the “Pearl of the Adriatic”.
The aircraft to be used on the route are Airbus A320s, equipped with a Business Class section.
Iberia thus becomes the sole airline to connect Madrid and Dubrovnik. The company expects to carry more than 14,000 passengers on the route during the summer months and has scheduled these flights to facilitate connections to its other network destinations, especially in Spain and in the Americas.
Today, Iberia is Spain’s leading airline and also market leader on flights between Europe and Latin America. In 2007 it posted operating income of more than 5.52 billion euros and net earnings of 327.6 million, with an Ebitdar of 932 million. Iberia is also distinguished by its social, corporate, and environmental policies. Along with its franchise partner Iberia Regional, it operates some 1,000 flights every day to about 100 destinations. In 2007 Iberia carried 32.5 million passengers. It is a member of the oneworld airline alliance along with American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, JAL, LAN, Malev, Qantas and Royal Jordanian.
