Iberia Joins British Airways and Qatar Airways to Expand the World’s Largest Airline Joint Business

The national airlines of Spain, the UK, and Qatar, respectively, are joining forces. Together, Qatar Airways and British Airways already run the largest airline joint venture in the world, serving more than 60 nations. Iberia will join the collaboration in July, revolutionizing connectivity for international travelers.

As a result of the joint venture, Iberia will begin operating additional daily flights from its hub, Madrid Barajas International Airport, to Hamad International Airport, which Skytrax named the Best Airport in the Middle East for the 9th consecutive year. Through the three international airlines, passengers will be able to connect to more than 200 destinations.

The combined enhanced service of Iberia and Qatar Airways will fly the route three times per day, offering unmatched connectivity between the Iberian Peninsula and important markets in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

The Airbus A330-200, with 288 seats in each of the Business and Economy cabins, will be operated by Iberia. The expansion of the partnership offers customers more options than ever before, including a wider range of award-winning products like Qatar Airways’ Qsuite, Iberia’s Business Class, and British Airways’ Club Suite, as well as a wider range of geographic destinations, flight schedules, prices, and seamless connectivity via Doha, London, and Madrid.

Travelers from Spain and Portugal will be able to connect to a wide variety of new places, whether for pleasure or business. More options make it easier to travel to the Maldives and Seychelles for relaxation, to go on adventures in Tanzania and Nepal, to experience cultural holidays in India and Oman, to shop in Singapore and Thailand, or to visit friends and family in Australia and Hong Kong.
