Iberia and Aerolíneas Argentinas have reached an agreement that will bring Argentina and Spain closer than ever. Thanks to this alliance, which will be effective from March 27, 2025, customers of both airlines will be able to connect their transatlantic flights with more than 37 destinations within Argentina and 29 within Spain.

Specifically, customers who purchase their tickets with Iberia, who previously had to obtain a separate flight to or from cities beyond Buenos Aires, will now have access to 37 destinations within the country operated by Aerolíneas Argentinas, including some such as Córdoba, Mendoza, Bariloche, Mar de Plata, Rosario, Ushuaia, Iguazú, Tucumán, or El Calafate, to name a few.

Similarly, travelers crossing the Atlantic on-board Aerolíneas Argentinas will have 29 cities within Spain at their disposal, which they will reach on flights operated by Iberia from Madrid-Barajas T4, including Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao, Málaga, Granada, Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, or Tenerife, among others.

In this way, traveling between Argentina and Europe will be easier and more comfortable than ever, as all journeys will be made through a single reservation, and a single check-in, from the city of origin to the final destination.

For example, an Iberia passenger will be able to fly between Madrid and Bariloche, connecting in Buenos Aires-Ezeiza or Aeroparque, with a single ticket. On the other hand, Aerolíneas Argentinas passengers will be able to fly with the same ticket between Buenos Aires and Bilbao, connecting in Madrid-Barajas.

Fabián Lombardo, President and General Manager of Aerolíneas Argentinas, stated that “this alliance with Iberia is a natural response to our historical cultural and business ties. Argentinians have deep roots in Spain, and this type of agreement will allow us to bring them closer to their origins through a new network of destinations, adding a partner with a high reputation in the market. Additionally, it will allow Iberia passengers to reach the wonderful destinations we have to offer in Argentina.”

For his part, Marco Sansavini, CEO and President of Iberia, highlighted that “we are very proud to announce this alliance with Aerolíneas Argentinas, a company with a long history of service in Latin America. Thanks to this agreement, we will be able to offer our customers the best travel options in a market as relevant as Argentina. From now on, the more than 2,000 people we transport daily in the three daily operations we have between Buenos Aires and Madrid will have at their disposal a complete domestic connectivity network to move comfortably and efficiently through the wonderful country that is Argentina.”

Iberia has been flying from Spain for 97 years with the purpose of generating prosperity, connecting people with the world.
