The inaugural flights were greeted with water cannon salutes on 1 June with both services operating four times a week using Iberia Airbus A330-200s, providing 20 tonnes of capacity.
They add to over 120 weekly connections between Spain and the USA including twice daily flights to New York and Miami from Madrid’s Barajas airport.
Pravin Singh, Vice President Commercial, Americas at IAG Cargo, says, “It is always exciting to see IAG Cargo launch a new route, so two new routes between Madrid and the USA is even better and provides our customers with further opportunities to move their cargo between the regions. The launch of the new routes between Madrid and Dallas and Madrid and Washington DC highlights IAG Cargo’s commitment to offering our customers accessibility into new markets and expanding our wide-body network across the globe.”
