With the arrival of the summer season Iberia’s charter operation sees an increase in activity. This business segment has been promoted by Iberia since the pandemic to grow its revenue and build customer loyalty.
In May, the airline will add 70 charter operations to its regular flight programme, to provide services linked to cruises and tour operator destinations, as well as incentive trips and sporting events.
Cruise passengers are regular customers of Iberia’s charter flights. In May, the airline will continue to provide assistance to MSC Cruises, along with another major company in the sector: Costa Cruceros. To meet their needs, Iberia will operate special flights to Venice, Athens, Hamburg, and Bari.
Iberia will also operate tour operator charter flights to destinations that are not part of its regular schedule, such as Reykjavik (Iceland) and Linz (Austria), in addition to the series of special flights for Sama Travel to Luxor and Cairo.
Of the 70 charter flights that the airline operates this month, 20% will be incentive trips for companies -long-haul flights from both Madrid and Barcelona- which, together with operations for sporting events, will round off Iberia’s non-scheduled operation in May.
