The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 12 at Bilbao Airport (LEBB) in Spain. The takeoff distance was 1,166 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 179 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 6 knots at 141 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,155 feet above sea level to 32,669 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,514 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles. The enroute climb started overhead Zamudio in the Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa region of Spain. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles, starting 1 mile south of Antiguedad in the Castilla y Leon region of Spain.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent from an altitude of 32,423 feet above sea level to 8,822 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,601 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Fuentepelayo in the Castilla y Leon region of Spain. After the initial descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles, starting 2 miles east of Navalcarnero in the Comunidad de Madrid region of Spain.

The final descent phase began 1 mile west of San Martin de la Vega in the Comunidad de Madrid region of Spain, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 8,067 feet above sea level to 3,196 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,871 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 32R at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD), flying from the south east at a heading of 322.0 degrees, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,220 feet above ground level.

The aircraft landed on runway 32R, which had a length of 3,002 meters. The threshold height at 73 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots. The touchdown point was 583 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -158 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 1,893 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 235 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,962 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
