IAG Cargo is introducing two new short-haul freighter services this month. A new Madrid-Amsterdam freighter service, starting today, Aug. 18, should improve connectivity for shipments between Amsterdam and Latin America, while another new flight from Frankfurt to London via Paris, starting Aug. 24, will increase IAG Cargo\u2019s freighter operation out of Paris to twice weekly.
\nIAG Cargo plans to operate an A300 freighter along the Madrid-Amsterdam route, which has a payload of up to 42 tonnes. The cargo carrier hopes to pick up time-sensitive shipments by beating the \u201ccurrent transit times via truck,\u201d and by \u201cimproving the customer proposition for connections from South America and out of Europe.\u201d
\nA300 freighters will also be used on the once-a-week Frankfurt-Paris-London route, which consolidates the existing Frankfurt flight. Trucking connections will connect the Frankfurt-Paris route to cargo coming from London Luton to Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
\n\u201cThis European capacity expansion comes as a direct result of customer demand, and complements upgrades made to the Milan and Oporto services at the beginning of 2016,\u201d explained Camilo Garcia, head of sales, at IAG Cargo. \u201cThe new Madrid-Amsterdam service, in particular, will enable highly efficient access to and from the growing Latin American pharmaceutical market, while the new Paris- Frankfurt-London \u2018triangle\u2019 enables us to offer important capacity in two key European markets.\u201d
\nThe Madrid-Amsterdam freighter service will operate on Thursdays and Saturdays and the Frankfurt-Paris-London rotation will fly every Wednesday.
