IAG Cargo to return to Abu Dhabi
IAG Cargo, the cargo division of International Airlines Group (IAG), is starting its summer schedule which will increase the number of services between the carrier’s core hubs in London, Madrid, Barcelona and Dublin to destinations worldwide.
As part of the new schedule, flights between London Heathrow (LHR) and Abu Dhabi (AUH) will return on 20 April following a four-year hiatus. This route will be operated by a Boeing 787-9 widebody aircraft and forms part of a 19% increase in weekly rotations to Africa and the Middle East.
Transatlantic routes will also see a boost in capacity, with a 9% increase in services to Latin America and the Caribbean. This includes an additional three flights per week to Buenos Aires (EZE) and up to four flights per week to Sao Paulo (GRU) out of Madrid.
Furthermore, there will be a doubling of weekly services between London Heathrow and San Diego (SAN), and an extra seven flights per week to Chicago (ORD). IAG Cargo has also launched a new service between Barcelona and Miami (MIA). (cj)
