On December 14, 1927 Iberia took off for the first time from Barcelona to Madrid. A Rohrback Roland three-engine aircraft with capacity for 10 passengers and wicker seats lift off to Cuatro Vientos airfield in Madrid, where the opening ceremony took place. At that time we were already offering daily flights between Madrid and Barcelona, except on Sundays. The trip took three and a half hours and the fare was 163 pesetas for one-way tickets and 300 pesetas for round trip. During our first month of activity, we made 57 flights and transported 287 passengers.
