It started offering two weekly flights with MD87 aircraft, though it doubled the number of frequencies to four a week in summer 1991. Two decades later, Iberia makes three daily return flights, using Airbus A320s, and is the sole network airline to fly non-stop between the two cities.

The flights are scheduled to provide passengers boarding at Tegel airport in Germany or Madrid-Barajas in Spain with easy connections to/from Iberia's 35 Spanish destinations, Lisbon and Oporto in Portugal, 21 Latin American cities, four United States destinations, and nine in Africa.
In 2010 Iberia carried more that 262,000 people between the two cities, of whom 51.1% had connecting flights.
