IAG Cargo launches a new route to Portland
IAG Cargo, the cargo division of International Airlines Group (IAG), has launched a new direct service from London Heathrow to Portland and is also restarting flights to Pittsburgh for the first time since March 2020. The brand-new service to Portland will operate five times a week and provide the only non-stop connection between Oregon and UK. The restart to Pittsburgh will run four times a week from London Heathrow.
These additions to the carrier’s portfolio coincide with a recent announcement to build the largest cargo facility in the history of Pittsburgh International Airport as cargo volumes at the airport have grown rapidly in recent years.
The routes will be operated by a Dreamliner B787 aircraft transporting commodities the two countries are renowned for: beer, high-technology, and a variety of popular fashion brands. (cj)
