Iberia Celebrates First Anniversary of Madrid-Tokyo Flights
Iberia is celebrating the anniversary of its flights between Madrid and Tokyo, which have better connected Spain and Japan.
The Spanish flag carrier launched its direct flights between Madrid and Tokyo on 27 October 2024, with the Madrid-Tokyo flight lasting 14 hours and the return service lasting 16 hours on the Airbus A350.
The flights have allowed Japanese tourists to more easily access Spain, and in 2026, Iberia will offer more than 108,000 places on flights between Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) and Tokyo’s Narita Airport (NRT).
This will contribute around 100 million EUR (£87.4 million) to the GDP of both Spain and Japan and will generate around 1,900 jobs.
Iberia operates three weekly flights between Madrid and Tokyo using its Airbus A350 aircraft, accommodating 348 passengers across its Business, Premium Economy and Economy cabins.
