Iberia to operate daily flights between Budapest and Madrid

The Spanish national airline Ibera has published its winter schedule for 2023-2024. It shows that the flag carrier of Spain will operate daily flights between Madrid and Budapest.

Stunning increase in offers

The Spanish national airline has announced its winter schedule for the period 28 October 2023 to 30 March 2024. Iberia, which has been expanding its long-haul network lately, will offer more than 300 flights between its Madrid-based hub and Latin America. This is a 14 percent increase compared to 2019.

Colombia, Peru, Chile, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Brazil and Venezuela are also included among the new destinations. The airline offers a record number of more than two million seats for the winter season, airportal.hu reports.

Iberia also offers record capacity to Paris, Milan and Rome, while there are more than 90 flights a week to the United States. The Spanish national airline’s main innovation will be a new route to Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland in Finland, according to turizmus.com.

Serving Budapest-Madrid route seven days a week

According to the airline’s announcement, the Madrid-Budapest route will be extended by two extra flights per week compared to the pre-pandemic offer. From October, Iberia will operate a direct flight between Madrid and Budapest every day of the week.

Flights depart Madrid at 11.45 AM local time and arrive in Budapest a few minutes before 3 PM. Return flights take off from Liszt Ferenc airport at 3.35 PM and land in the Spanish capital five minutes before 7 PM.

Iberia had planned to double the number of flights in 2019 to six a week, but this was thwarted by COVID-19.
