History of Iberia
Iberia was founded on June 28, 1927. Horacio Echevarrieta and Lufthansa established the airline as the Spanish monopoly of air transport. The flight between Barcelona and Madrid on December 14, 1927 was the beginning of the operations of this company. After several years of inactivity, the company resumed its activity in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War.
The airline has been active ever since. In 1944, the airline was nationalized, becoming part of the National Institute of Industry. In 1946, two years later, Iberia became the first airline to fly to South America from Europe.
As early as 1990, INI proposed a development strategy for Iberia in preparation for the liberalization of the European Union aviation market. The expansion took place in Latin America, taking possession of several South American airlines. However, these activities became unsustainable for Iberia, leading to a capital raising and a restructuring of its approach.
This privatization process was completed in 2001 through an initial public offering. The following year it even became part of the Ibex 35, where it remained until 2011 when it merged with British Airways. Today, Iberia has a large market share on routes within Spain and between Europe and Latin America.
