May 08, 2024
  • IAG Cargo launches a brand-new service between Dublin and Denver
  • IAG Cargo enhances capacity with larger aircraft type on services between Dublin and Toronto

IAG Cargo, the cargo division of International Airlines Group (IAG), is announcing a new route between Dublin (DUB) and Denver (DEN) for the first time in its history.

From 17th May 2024, IAG Cargo customers will have the opportunity to transport goods directly between Dublin and Denver with a frequency of four times per week, utilizing an Airbus 330-200 aircraft.

Additionally, services between Dublin and Toronto (YYZ) will also see a boost in capacity due to a wide body Airbus 330-200 now being used four times a week on the service.

This new service and additional capacity further support IAG Cargo’s Dublin hub as a gateway to North America, boasting over 80 weekly wide-body rotations - the additional services are essential to facilitating the movement of pharmaceutical products. This is incredibly important for Ireland as the Central Statistics Office revealed that medical and pharmaceutical items are the largest export for the country and have increased by €2,908 million (+48%) to €8,993 million in January 2024 compared with January 2023.

Camilo Garcia Cervera, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at IAG Cargo, 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.”
