Iberia restarting Tokyo flights
Spain based Iberia will resume Tokyo flights to Narita International Airport directly from Madrid.
It restarts on 27 October 2024 with the beginning of the next winter season schedule.
Iberia will offer three weekly flights on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from Madrid, returning on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays from Tokyo.
Iberia´s Tokyo flights are the only direct option connecting Spain and Japan.
It represents more than 45,000 seats between Spain and Japan during the next winter season, which runs until March 25.
Due to the closure of Russian airspace, the Tokyo flight path has been adjusted.
Customers flying round-trip with Iberia will do a round-the-world trip.
The outbound from Madrid to Tokyo will fly across the south and the inbound across the north, above Russia, across the Pacific Ocean and the Artic.
Seats are now on sale at Iberia.com.
Tokyo flights will be operated on Airbus A350 jets.
The route resumption also marks Iberia’s return to Asia.
The Spanish airline began flying to Tokyo in 1986 originally with a stop in Mumbai.
María Jesús López Solás, Commercial and Network Development Director, said: “Our return to Tokyo confirms our commitment to Asia.”
“At Iberia, we want to show Madrid’s potential as a gateway to Spain, the rest of Europe, and Latin America.”
The flight timings between Madrid and Tokyo allow easy connections with Iberia’s destinations in Spain, as well as in the rest of Europe and Latin America.
The Iberia Group network flies to around 140 destinations in 46 countries.
