Iberia operated its last flight from COR to MAD on Saturday, January 14 after serving the route for a little more than fifteen months. The Spanish airline started flying to Argentina's second-largest city on October 1, 2010 with the service being flown mostly by A340-300's but also with the larger A340-600. The route was operated both non-stop to Madrid and via Rio de Janeiro's Galeao Airport (GIG). At one point, there was talk of trying to save the route by having the flight stop in Asuncion (ASU) Paraguay but that did not materialize.
Aircraft that operated the last flight was A340-300 EC-LKS per http://gscordoba.blogspot.com/
