IAG Cargo announces new BCN-MIA service
The summer schedule has a few goodies in store for freight forwarders. This week, it is IAG Cargo that has published its newest additions. First off is a new service between Barcelona (BCN) and Miami (MIA), starting on 31MAR24 and offering up to three flights per week. All going well, those will even grow to four flights/week between JUN24-SEP24. “The introduction of this service is being made possible by adding a sixth aircraft to LEVEL’s fleet,” the release states. “Miami is IAG Cargo’s fifth connection between Barcelona and the U.S.,” it details, and goes on to confirm that the airline is also again taking up its Barcelona-San Francisco (SFO) connection from 31MAR24. Four flights per week are scheduled on this routing. “Barcelona is one of IAG Cargo’s four hubs, alongside London Heathrow, Madrid, and Dublin, and is home to two of the IAG Group’s airlines, LEVEL and Vueling. Miami will mark IAG Cargo’s fifth direct connection to the United States from Barcelona, which already encompasses Boston, Los Angeles, New York’s JFK and San Francisco.” With the latest route, the airline group now offers nigh on 200 weekly connections out of Spain to the United States. Coming in to Barcelona, freight forwarders can benefit from a vast trucking network, providing quick transfer services to neighboring countries. Likewise, Miami, as the world’s largest gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean, is the perfect link for customers flying out perishable products, hi-tech commodities, telecommunications equipment, textiles, pharmaceuticals and industrial machinery.
Camilo Garcia Cervera, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at IAG Cargo, stated: “The transatlantic corridor is an important part of our network and supports so many of our customers. Miami is a thriving logistics hub, strategic for air freight. With our already well-established network connecting major cities in the United States with Europe, this new route will enhance our connectivity even more.”
