Iberia is Spain’s largest air transport group and the fourth-largest in Europe. Since its foundation in 1927, more than 800 million passengers have flown with Iberia, situating this company among the five largest European airlines, and making the company the unrivalled leader on routes connecting Spain with the rest of Europe, and Europe with Latin America.

Iberia is also a founding member of oneworld, the alliance of airlines around the globe, which together serves some 700 destinations and offering the best connections.
