On March 28, after a 14 year absence, Iberia Airlines of Spain resumed service to LAX. Utilizing Airbus A340-300 aircraft, the airline provides direct nonstop service from Madrid to Los Angeles on Monday's, Wednesday's and Saturday's. An additional flight on Friday's will be offered between July and September. These flights are the only direct nonstops between the US West Coast and the Iberian Peninsula.
Nearly 70,000 passengers are projected to board the new flights, which are hoped to generate in excess of $300 million in economic output for Los Angeles. For spotters and photographers alike, it's just one more airline to enjoy over the skies of LA. I myself had never seen an Iberia airplane before the 28th, and look forward to many years of making up for that!
Below are a few pictures of Iberia's return to LAX. I wish the airline, and the new flights, much success!
