Javier Sánchez-Prieto, President and CEO of Iberia, stated: “We believe that the announcement of the flights to Maldives instills encouragement internally, is good news for the tourism sector and is an example of how we are adapting in Iberia to the new circumstances and opening new markets».

The Spanish airline will also operate flights to several routes in the United States (Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles), which are added to Miami and New York, destinations in which Iberia is already operating.

As far as Latin America is concerned, Iberia will once again fly to Cali, Guayaquil and San Juan de Puerto Rico.

“This summer we are betting very strongly on recovery. It is very important to try to save this season because, if not, we will have lost two years and as a country we cannot afford it. The entire tourism sector is hopeful that the vaccination campaigns will function to lift the restrictions and it is essential that valid formulas are undertaken for Europe, America and any country in the world», Sánchez-Prietto added.
