IAG Cargo will be able to offer additional capacity to the Middle East, Africa, US and Latin America from the end of this month as its partner airlines add new flights for the winter season.
The new schedule will see IAG Cargo deliver a 5% increase in weekly rotations to Africa and the Middle East, including the return of the London Heathrow (LHR)/Jeddah (JED) route operating six times a week.
Key transatlantic routes will also see a boost in capacity, including an additional seven flights to Miami (MIA) from London Heathrow each week, representing a two-fold increase, and a resumption of the same service from Dublin (DUB), which will run three times weekly.
Latin America will see three more weekly flights to Sao Paulo (GRU) from London Heathrow and an additional three services per week from Madrid (MAD). This extra capacity will be supplemented by six more services each week to Buenos Aires (EZE) from Madrid and Barcelona (BCN), as well as four more weekly rotations from the Spanish capital to Santo Domingo (SDQ).
The winter schedule will begin at the end of October and run until the end of March next year.
IAG Cargo chief sales and marketing officer Camilo Garcia Cervera said: “The final three months of the calendar year are always an incredibly busy time for air cargo, and the increased frequency and capacity across our global network will boost the options available to our customers who trust IAG Cargo to deliver its vital role in the supply chain.”
These are not the only network adjustments that will effect IAG Cargo from the end of October.
In September, the cargo business said it would also benefit from the addition of extra capacity to the Asia Pacific region as sister companies British Airway and Iberia add flights to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo.
