The services from Barcelona will be operated by LEVEL, flying to Los Angeles up to four times a week and another four to San Francisco using an Airbus A330-200 with up to 14 tonnes of capacity.
Popular products on the routes include high value items, textiles, electronics, automotive parts and biomedical technology.
Asparagus are a popular seasonal product, flying from Los Angeles to Barcelona using IAG Cargo’s Constant Fresh service.
Idoia Martinez, Regional Commercial Manager for Spain and Portugal at IAG Cargo says: “We are delighted to provide the new direct route to Los Angeles whilst resuming our service to San Francisco. These are important trade routes that not only offers customers more opportunities to transport cargo between Europe and the USA, but it also supports farmers in the region to get their perishables to Europe’s supermarket shelves.”
