SPAIN: Iberia Increases Frequency to Montevideo

Iberia, the flag carrier and largest airline of Spain, announced it is increasing the frequency of its non-stop Madrid-Montevideo flights to five per week.

Iberia became the first airline with regular flights between Europe and Latin America in 1946 when it launched its Madrid-Buenos Aires route, with a stop in Montevideo.

Celebrating 70th anniversary of the launch Iberia’s Spain-Latin America services, Iberia announced increase of its flights to Montevideo.

Iberia will use their new Airbus A330-200 MTOW 242t (Maximum Take-Off Weight 242 tonnes) aircraft for Montevideo flights, which will begin in March.

Iberia is the first airline to fly the new generation Airbus model, with a maximum take-off capacity of 242 tonnes and a range of 11,500 kilometres.

The Airbus A330-200 aircraft can carry up to 288 passengers in the maximum comfort provided by newly designed seats in both Business and Economy.

Business class seats, all with direct access to the aisle, unfold into two-metre-long flat beds.

Economy passengers will notice the comfort of larger and more ergonomic seats, with individual seat-back touch screens for the lavish entertainment offer, along with power supplies and connecting ports for personal electronic devices.

Iberia will offer in-flight Wi-Fi to all passengers.

According to Iberia in a statement, their flights will connect with over 100 destinations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and from next winter with new routes announced by the airline, Tokyo and Shanghai.
