Iberia Express is a Spanish low-cost airline owned by Iberia, which operates short- and medium-haul routes from its parent airline's hub at Adolfo Suárez Madrid - Barajas Airport (MAD), providing feeder flights onto Iberia's long-haul network.
As of June 2025, Iberia Express proudly operates to more than 40 national and international destinations with a modern and efficient fleet of 25 aircraft. The airline's fleet primarily consists of 14 Airbus A320-200 and 12 Airbus A321neo aeroplanes, ensuring a contemporary flying experience for passengers.
At the core of the fleet is the Airbus A320 family, globally recognised as the world's best-selling aircraft series. Through continuous innovation, these aircraft offer passengers benefits like smoother flights due to advanced fly-by-wire controls, alongside significant reductions in fuel consumption, emissions, and noise, contributing to a more pleasant and environmentally conscious journey.
The Airbus A321 family, a versatile member of the A320 lineage, enhances the fleet's capacity and reach. A standout is the Airbus A321neo, which elevates efficiency and comfort even further. Equipped with next-generation engines that are 15% more fuel-efficient, these advanced aircraft not only boast a lower environmental footprint but also allow for a greater range, potentially opening up new and more direct travel possibilities for passengers. Its use of lighter, more resistant composite materials ensures a durable and modern flight experience.
Iberia Express is committed to providing its passengers with a reliable, comfortable, and efficient journey on its state-of-the-art Airbus fleet.
Iberia Express offers three cabin classes: Economy, Premium Economy and Business.
Iberia Express forms part of the IAG Group through its parent company Iberia, and it operates via code sharing with British Airways, Finnair, LAN Airlines, Japan Airlines, American Airlines, Avianca, Air Lingus, Siberia Airlines, and Royal Air Maroc.
The airline began operations in March 2012, and it has gradually grown since then to position itself as the fourth main operator at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport in terms of the number of passengers, and number one between Madrid and the Canary Islands. This is largely due to its value proposition that combines the virtues of low-cost companies - competitive prices, routes, etc. - with the benefits of traditional companies - connections, additional services, customer loyalty clubs, etc. It is also one of the few low-cost airlines in the world to offer a business service on all its planes.
Iberia Express is also renowned internationally for its commitment to punctuality and regularity, as endorsed by the reports of the consultancy FlightGlobal which for five consecutive years (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018) named it the most punctual low-cost airline in the world and for 6 years (including 2019) it was named the most punctual low-cost airline in the European continent.
Iberia Express was recognised as the most on-time airline in Europe for 2023, too.
