Rome: more seats and flights than ever to the “eternal city”
Until 25 March 2023, the Iberia Group will exceed the frequency of flights and the number of seats available in Rome compared to the months prior to the start of the pandemic. In this way, it will reach its maximum historical capacity in the Italian capital.
