Spanish carrier Iberia SA will increase its seating capacity on its Madrid-Tel Aviv route by 13%.

Beginning in September, the airline plans to operate two weekly flights using Airbus 340s, and will make twelve other weekly flights using smaller planes.

The Airbus 340s will also enable Iberia to boost its cargo capacity on the route to 70 tons a week. The airline expects to significantly increase freight haulage between Spain and Israel, and also between Israel and the rest of Europe, Latin America, and the US.
