Air Nostrum, the regional airline franchised by Iberia, has resumed flights between Pamplona and Barcelona. The route, supported by an agreement with Navarra, operates three times a week on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays using 100-seat CRJ1000 aircraft. The service aims to enhance connectivity for Navarrese passengers, offering links to 16 domestic and 34 international destinations via Barcelona through a codeshare agreement with Vueling and the Oneworld alliance. Early booking data shows 17% of passengers intend to connect through Barcelona to other locations, including Doha, Santiago de Chile, and London.

Separately, Air Nostrum was honored at the Forbes Spain-UBS Sustainability Awards 2026. The airline received the Sustainable Excellence-Environment and Transition Award in Madrid.
