IAG Cargo has launched a route between Dublin and Denver for the first time in its history. The route, operated by IAG’s Irish arm, Aer Lingus, will have a frequency of four times per week, using an Airbus 330-200 aircraft.
Services between Dublin and Toronto will also be boosted by a wide body Airbus 330-200 four times a week.
IAG Cargo’s Dublin hub now has over 80 weekly wide-body rotations, especially important for the movement of pharmaceutical products for which Ireland is a major manufacturing centre.
IAG Cargo chief sales and marketing officer, Camilo Garcia Cervera said: “We are really pleased to be introducing additional direct routes for our customers, connecting Ireland and the US. 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.”
