As Iberia continues to grow in Panama, it launched today a fifth weekly flight between Madrid and Panama City. The spanish airline now reaches Panama City on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, But thanks to its flights to other parts of the region and connections with airlines, Iberia can book passengers to and from Panama on any day of the week.
Some flights are operated with the Airbus A340-600, which has 100 more seats than the other aircraft operated on the route, the A340-300. In 2012 Iberia will offer a record of 145,000 on the Panama City route, a 33% increase from 2011.
Demand from Madrid to Panama City rose by 35% in 2011, to some 90,000 passengers and the passenger load factor was more than 80%. Maria Esther Fernandez, Iberia's Central America Manager commented on the matter "No other Iberia route grew as strongly as Madrid-Panama, meeting our highest expectations", she added that "Our aim is to continue to grow, and as soon as possible to offer flights every day which, along with the improvements to both tourist and business class seating sections, will enable Iberia to offer a product that is hard to beat".
