As demand for long-haul flights picks up, three airlines are announcing new or relaunched direct flights between Europe and Latin America: Iberojet will link Madrid to Quer\u00e9taro in Mexico<\/mark><\/a>, Condor will return to Panama <\/mark><\/a>from Germany and Cubana de Aviaci\u00f3n will once again link Frankfurt and Cuba<\/mark><\/a>. Here’s an overview. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Madrid <\/strong>–<\/strong> Quer<\/strong>\u00e9<\/strong>taro (Iberojet)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Spanish airline Iberojet <\/a><\/strong>will be opening a Madrid (MAD) – Quer\u00e9taro Intercontinental (QRO) route, operated by Airbus A350, which will be the first direct link between Spain and the Mexican Baj\u00edo<\/strong>. Supported by tour operators from the \u00c1voris group, the aim is to showcase the region’s dynamic tourism and heritage, in particular the UNESCO-listed historic centre of Santiago de Quer\u00e9taro<\/em>, the surrounding vineyards and Pueblos M\u00e1gicos<\/em> (Bernal, Jalpan de Serra, Tequisquiapan<\/em>…)… For the moment, no date has been announced for the entry into service of the link. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mario Dom\u00ednguez, Iberojet’s Commercial Director<\/strong>, said: \u2018This new route strengthens our commitment to interconnecting the Iberian Peninsula with Mexico, adding this destination to the flights linking Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon with Cancun and reinforcing the links between the two countries and their brother peoples<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Frankfurt <\/strong>–<\/strong> Panama-City (Condor)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After a nine-year absence, Condor <\/a><\/strong>returns to Panama on 11 June 2025<\/strong>. This direct route operated by A330-900 Neo <\/strong>will reinforce the strategy of the \u2018Master Plan for Sustainable Tourism 2020-2026\u2019 and completes the \u2018Panama Stopover\u2019 programme – allowing passengers to stay in Panama for several days at no additional cost to the airline – which attracted more than 160,000 passengers in 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u2018Our plans with Condor are to strengthen the German market, which is important for Panama because these visitors have the longest stay per night, varying between 15 and 16 days<\/em>,\u2019 says Mois\u00e9s V\u00e9liz, Director of Strategic Alliances and Travel Trade at PROMTUR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Frankfurt <\/strong>– Holgu\u00edn \/ La Havana (Cubana de Aviaci\u00f3n)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Twenty years after abandoning it, Cubana de Aviaci\u00f3n<\/a><\/strong> will be relaunching its service to Germany in November 2025<\/strong>: two weekly rotations<\/strong> (Wednesday and Saturday) by Airbus A330-200 (287 seats), alternating between Holgu\u00edn and Havana<\/strong>. The Cuban Ministry of Transport has welcomed this announcement, as this route will restore connectivity with Europe following the withdrawal of Condor, which will take effect from 2 May 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

By improving accessibility and diversifying itineraries, these three flights offer travel professionals new opportunities to build original tours while meeting the growing demand for Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
