LEVEL will operate 4 Airbus A330-200 flights a week between the Spanish city and the Chilean capital from 31 October for the first time since before the pandemic.
Restarting the Barcelona – Santiago flights will support the movement of perishable goods such as fruit, vegetables and fish using IAG Cargo’s Constant Fresh product.
Rodrigo Casal, Regional Commercial Manager for Latin America at IAG Cargo, says, “Latin America is a major trade route for our customers, particularly for perishables into Europe. 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.”
Ricard Falomir, Chief Operations and Digital Officer at LEVEL, adds, “We are pleased to resume our operations between Barcelona and Santiago de Chile for passengers and cargo, contributing to the extensive cargo network of IAG Cargo, possible 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.”
