Madrid, the political, economic and financial hub of Spain, is the country’s biggest and Europe’s third largest city. It also houses the headquarters of the World Tourism Organisation and numerous major corporations.
Passengers to and from Madrid can connect to destinations in the airline’s route network, such as Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salam (Tanzania), Nairobi (Kenya), Entebbe (Uganda), Lusaka (Zambia), Luanda (Angola) and Johannesburg (South Africa).
The airline recently seperated its flights to Kinshasa and Brazzaville (see story here).
