Starting today, June 7, the Spanish Government lifts some restrictions on the arrival of tourists and, specifically, people from Latin America who have been vaccinated with the compounds authorized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) will be able to visit our country and the World Health Organization (WHO). Iberia has embraced this measure as a turning point to resume its flights in Latin America. A clear commitment by the airline to strengthen its leadership and take off strongly in this market.
