Iberia Expands U.S. Network With New Madrid–Newark Route

New Flight Strengthens Iberia’s New York Presence

Iberia will launch a daily nonstop flight between Madrid and Newark on March 29, 2026. The new route will complement Iberia’s existing services between Madrid, Barcelona, and New York-JFK.

The airline aims to expand flexibility for customers by adding more schedule and fare options across the New York region. Iberia will operate the route with the Airbus A321XLR, which supports efficient long-haul operations.

With this addition, Iberia will offer over 350,000 seats between Madrid and New York in summer 2026.

Airline Expands Transatlantic Growth Strategy

Deliveries of the A321XLR allow Iberia to expand its long-haul network with fuel-efficient aircraft. The airline recently announced a new Madrid – Toronto service starting in June 2026.

Iberia currently serves major U.S. destinations including Boston, Chicago, Miami, Washington Dulles, and Dallas. The new Newark service supports Iberia’s Flight Plan 2030, which focuses on fleet renewal and transatlantic expansion.

This plan includes major investments in new aircraft, digital upgrades, and improved customer experience.

Newark Route Offers New Convenience for Travellers

The airline says Newark provides fast and convenient access to Manhattan for both business and leisure travellers. Iberia believes diversifying between JFK and Newark will optimise operations across a highly competitive transatlantic corridor.

• Flight IB327 will depart Madrid daily at 19:35 and arrive in Newark at 22:25.
