In 2022, 83.8% of Iberia Express flights arrived on time.
In 2023, the on-time rate was 84.58%.

On average, between 15 and 16% of the airline’s flights are late, which is why it’s useful to have our Iberia Express flights delayed list handy. In 2023, there were 41,000 flights total, which means over 6,300 flights didn’t arrive on schedule.

Why Is Your Iberia Express Flight Cancelled?

Flights can get cancelled for several different reasons, and the only way to know 100% why your route is on the Iberia Express flights cancelled list is to ask the airline specifically. In general, these are the main reasons an Iberia Express flight gets cancelled:

Adverse weather conditions such as fog, thunderstorms, snowstorms, hurricanes, and high winds can make flying dangerous or impossible.
Mechanical failures or maintenance issues with the aircraft that cannot be fixed quickly.
Congestion at airports or in the airspace, often due to high traffic volumes or staffing shortages in air traffic control.
Airline-specific problems such as crew shortages, Iberia Express strikes, and scheduling conflicts.
Threats such as terrorist activities, bomb threats, and other security alerts.

Can You Prevent Iberia Express Flight Disruptions?

Technically, no. There’s no way to guarantee your flight won’t get delayed or cancelled as there are too many external factors at play. But, there are certain things you can do to minimise the opportunities for interruptions. Avoid having your flight on the Iberia Express problems list with these tips:

Book flights that depart early. If you choose a later flight, your plane will go on multiple trips before it reaches you. Each of these previous trips is an opportunity for delays or cancellations. When you fly early, you eliminate this disruption reason.
Limit connections. Itineraries that include 2 or 3 connections are riskier than a direct flight. If you’re only counting on one flight operating as normal, you’re much more likely to arrive on time and not have to deal with missed connections.
Use our most delayed list as a guide. In most cases, Iberia Express offers another flight covering the same route (like the Dublin-Madrid example - IB3793 vs IB3791) with better punctuality.

How to Deal With an Iberia Express Cancelled or Delayed Flight

Don’t give up. If you travel frequently, you’re bound to run into a delay or cancellation at some point. Just don’t let it ruin your trip. When your flight is on the Iberia Express problems list, look for other ways to get to your destination. This can be anything from alternate airlines to alternate airports. Think outside the box!
Keep informed. Consult our Iberia Express flights delayed list often. This can help you react quickly to changes in the schedule.
Know your rights. Knowing what compensation entitlements you have ahead of time can set you up to decide whether any offers from Iberia Express are fair.
