IAG Cargo to start Dublin-Denver route
IAG Cargo enhances capacity with larger aircraft on services between Dublin and Toronto
IAG Cargo, the cargo division of International Airlines Group (IAG), is announcing a new route between Dublin and Denver for the first time in its history.
From May 17, 2024, IAG Cargo customers will have the opportunity to transport goods directly between Dublin and Denver with a frequency of four times per week, utilising an Airbus 330-200 aircraft, says an official release.
"Additionally, services between Dublin and Toronto will also see a boost in capacity due to a widebody Airbus 330-200 now being used four times a week on the service."
The new service and additional capacity support IAG Cargo’s Dublin hub as a gateway to North America with over 80 weekly widebody rotations (additional services to facilitate the movement of pharmaceutical products), the release added. "This is incredibly important for Ireland as the Central Statistics Office revealed that medical and pharmaceutical items are the largest exports for the country, and have increased by €2.9 billion (up 48 percent) to €9 billion in January 2024 compared with January 2023."
Camilo Garcia Cervera, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, IAG Cargo says: “We are really pleased to be introducing additional direct routes for our customers, connecting Ireland and the U.S. Ireland’s strategic location and business friendly environment have established it as a key hub for the pharmaceutical industry. The additional capacity adds to our strong network offering in North America, giving local businesses a vital connection to global markets.”
IAG Cargo had commercial revenue of €1.2 billion in 2023 and a combined workforce of more than 2,250 people.
