Iberia to restart Madrid-Tokyo flights in 2024

TOKYO : Spanish carrier Iberia is to restart services to Tokyo next year for the first time since the start of the pandemic.

The IAG-owned airline will fly three times per week from Madrid to Narita International from 27 October 2024 when it will become the only direct service between Spain and Japan. The route has not operated since 2020 when it was suspended due to the Covid-19 crisis.

The year-round service will operate from Madrid on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, and from Tokyo on Monday, Friday and Sunday. Iberia plans to use Airbus A350 aircraft on the route with capacity for 330 passengers including 24 seats in premium economy and 31 seats in business class.

María Jesús López Solás, Iberia’s commercial and network development and alliances director, said: “Our return to Tokyo is remarkable news. It represents the return of Iberia to Japan, where it began operations in 1986, and together with the recently launched direct flights to Doha, it confirms our commitment to Asia.”
