IAG Cargo is expected to strengthen its cargo operations and regional connectivity following the launch of new passenger routes to Mexico and Peru by airlines within the International Airlines Group (IAG) network. The additional services are set to enhance freight capacity between Europe and Latin America, supporting growing trade flows across the region.
Industry observers said the new routes will provide increased belly cargo capacity for shipments including perishables, pharmaceuticals, automotive components, e-commerce products and industrial goods. Expanded connectivity is also expected to improve transit times and supply chain flexibility for exporters and importers operating on transatlantic trade lanes.
The Latin American market continues to be a key growth area for air cargo operators due to rising consumer demand, manufacturing activity and agricultural exports. Peru is a major exporter of fresh produce and seafood, while Mexico plays an important role in automotive, electronics and industrial supply chains linked to North America and Europe.
IAG Cargo has been expanding its international network and cargo capabilities in response to rising demand for time-sensitive freight and high-value shipments. Additional route capacity is expected to support trade between Europe and key Latin American economies while strengthening the company’s position in the transatlantic cargo market.
Analysts said the expansion reflects broader industry efforts to capitalize on growing trade opportunities between Europe and Latin America, particularly in sectors requiring reliable and temperature-controlled logistics solutions.
