IAG Cargo is resuming services between Barcelona and Chile for the first time since pre-Covid crisis, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The route will run four times a week to Santiago de Chile International Airport from October 31. The service will utilise a LEVEL Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
Barcelona is one of iag Cargo's four hubs, along with London Heathrow, Madrid, and Dublin, and is home to two of the IAG Group's airlines, LEVEL and Vueling.
'Latin America is a major trade route for our customers, particularly for perishables into Europe,' said IAG Cargo regional commercial manager Rodrigo Casal.
'We're delighted to be able to restart our operations between Barcelona and Chile to facilitate the movement of essential foods and support local farming communities.'
Said LEVEL operations chief Ricard Falomir: 'We are pleased to resume our operations between Barcelona and Santiago for passengers and cargo, contributing to the extensive cargo network of IAG Cargo, thanks to the synergies of the group.
'LEVEL is the only airline that directly connects both destinations, a strategic market regarding not only passengers but also cargo. The route is in addition to the service in Buenos Aires, which reaches the daily flight in this winter season.'
