The new route, which launches on Friday 17 May, is the first connection between Dublin and Denver, and will operate four times a week using an Airbus A330-200.
The service supports IAG Cargo’s Dublin hub as a gateway to North America with over 80 weekly widebody rotations and helps facilitate the movement of pharmaceutical products.
According to the Central Statistics Office, medical and pharmaceutical items are Ireland’s largest export and have increased by 48% to €8.9 billion in January 2024 compared January 2023.
Camilo Garcia Cervera, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at IAG Cargo, says, “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.”
