IAG Cargo has started a route between Madrid and Doha, Qatar. The new daily direct service will be operated by an Iberia A330, from 11 December and will offer connections from Asia Pacific through to 17 destinations in Latin America. It also provides a link from Latin and North America to the Middle East, particularly for food products.
IAG Cargo chief sales and marketing officer, Camilo Garcia Cervera, said: “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.”
