Iberia will temporarily increase frequencies on the Tokyo/Narita–Madrid route.
To meet rising demand during Japan’s cherry blossom season, from March 4 through April 29, 2026, one additional weekly round-trip will be added—Tokyo/Narita departures on Thursdays and Madrid departures on Wednesdays—bringing the service to four round-trips per week. The route will be operated with Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
This route is the only nonstop service connecting Japan and Spain. As a result, more than 6,000 additional seats will be offered.
