I joined Iberia in 2014 after working for another airline in Caracas airport. Iberia made me an offer and I didn’t hesitate! My permanent residence, where my family lives, is Madrid. Owing to political and social circumstances, we left Venezuela in 2018. But I’m currently living in Havana.
I joined Iberia 20 years ago. I had dreamed of working for this company because when I was nine years old my mother worked in the home of a woman who was a check-in supervisor at the Santo Domingo airport. I was fascinated by everything she told me about her work.
Vanina Emilova joined Iberia four years ago after completing her studies in tourism management and she was looking for work in that field. She had just moved to Madrid, one of the most beautiful and fun cities I had ever visited...
I applied to work in Iberia in 2017, after flying for another airline for a time, and also trying office work. I live between Corunna and Madrid, but I plan to move to the capital full time as soon as I can.

Position and brief description of your work
I’m Regional Manager for Central America, in charge...
Mexico is a fascinating country with myriad professional and personal opportunities. There are always things to do. Mexico City is gigantic and it’s easy to get lost in the chaos and the crowds, but the fact is that I’m a city-loving person and this is not a problem for me. I don’t even mind the traffic!
“Madrid is hard to beat”. Twenty-seven pieces of luggage and later a container with I don’t know how many cubic tonnes, and our Spanish adventure began. The Spanish care a lot more about the quality of life than do Latin Americans. Here people complain a lot, but it’s because they don’t realise how good they have it. I live much better in Madrid than in Colombia or El Salvador.
