IAG Cargo, the cargo division of International Airlines Group (IAG), announced a new route between Madrid, Spain and Doha, Qatar, expanding its reach in the Middle East and enhancing its proposition in the Asia Pacific region.

The new, daily direct service between Madrid and Doha will be operated by an Iberia A330, commencing December 11, says an official release. "With Madrid being a key international hub, customers from Asia Pacific will be able to connect their goods into the wider network through Madrid, which serves 17 destinations in Latin America. Likewise, the service enables greater access for customers in Europe, Latin America and North America, particularly in the food sector where perishables are largely exported into the Middle East. The business also offers direct connections between Madrid and eight key cities in North America, alongside a daily wide-body bridge connection to London."

Camilo Garcia Cervera, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, IAG Cargo says: “We are really excited to launch this service between Madrid and Doha. This new route means that we’re able to increase our customers’ trans-shipment route options by offering an additional gateway linking Asia Pacific destinations to our extensive European and Latin American network. Moreover, it presents customers in Latin America and North America an extra gateway to connect with their shippers in the Middle East and Asia Pacific, leveraging our established partnerships in the region.

“With this new route, we look forward to facilitating new trade lanes, which will bring a host of benefits to our customers.”

The launch represents a strategic move that strengthens IAG Cargo’s presence in the Middle East. IAG Cargo’s destination offerings in the Middle East include Riyadh, Kuwait, Dubai and Bahrain, the release added.
