The Spanish airline Iberia will begin, starting tomorrow Tuesday to fly to Shanghai, which is first incorporated into its range of destinations in China routes, as well as his return to Asia, a continent that did not fly since 1997 when he left his route to Tokyo, Japan.

in this way, the first flight of the Spanish airline that will land in China is scheduled to leave the airport Adolfo Suarez Madrid -Barajas, about 12:50 local time on Tuesday, and landing at Pudong airport will be 12 hours and 20 minutes later, ie, at 07:10 on Wednesday, when China, indicate sources Iberia collecting today means.

Iberia compete on this route with the company China Eastern, which also opens next Tuesday.

in addition, Iberia is not the first Spanish airline will fly to China, as it was operated destination between 2005 and 2006 by Air Europa and Air Plus Comet, Marsans group, although both stopped flying by the low profitability of the routes at that time.

Sources company recognize how complex it is to make profitable routes to Asia from Spain, as it is very difficult to attract passengers from other European countries that choose to fly from Madrid, since it involves taking them a connecting flight that distances them from the final destination.

However, Iberia hopes to make profitable destination thanks to the new conditions of its staff following the implementation of the transformation plan and the new fleet of Airbus A330-200, which are much more efficient, as he stated by its president, Luis Gallego.

the Spanish company, which will fly back to the Japanese capital from October 18, announced in January that it would launch the route to Shanghai in winter , but three months later he decided to advance its release to summer, from Tuesday.

Iberia explained that the preview release of the route, which will operate on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays from Spain, and on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from Shanghai, can promote this destination as a new alternative for the summer holidays
