Route network and air fleet
The base air port of this Spanish carrier is located at Madrid Barajas Airport. Starting in 2006, the modern and very spacious Terminal 4 has been at the full disposal of an organization such as Iberia. The airline, together with its partners, has established an extremely convenient route system from this airport, which has made its work even more efficient.

Moreover, it should be noted that flights to the Russian capital take place daily.

The future plans of the Spanish airline include the acquisition of modern Airbus A380 and a significant expansion of the route network. In addition, the leadership plans to unload the South American and Latin American destinations.
