Usage Note

Procedente is most often found in travel and news contexts: el vuelo procedente de Madrid ('the flight coming from Madrid'). It behaves like a present participle used adjectivally and typically follows the noun. Procedente de is the fixed prepositional phrase; its near-synonym proveniente de is slightly more formal.
