China Southern Airlines joins IAG Cargo's Partner Plus Programme

CHINA Southern Airlines has joined IAG Cargo's Partner Plus Programme, providing a range of new destinations including Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Urumqi.

"Our Partner Plus Programme has allowed us to grow our network reach in an asset light way," said IAG Cargo CEO Steve Gunning, reports the American Journal of Transportation. 



"Today's deal will provide our customers with new destinations in some of the Asia's most important trading hubs," he said.



IAG Cargo appears to have its sights firmly set on network expansion nd says the scheme helps it meet the goal much more rapidly than would otherwise. 



"With the addition of China Southern, our programme now offers our customers extended network reach across all the world's key markets. Our focus is now shifting away from adding new members and onto deepening our commercial relationships with the existing members of the programme," Mr Gunning said.



Said China Southern vice president Zhao Fengsheng: "IAG Cargo has a strong global network reach and will prove an important partner in helping us to connect our customers with markets in Europe, the Americas and elsewhere."



Six carriers now form the Partner Plus Programme including Qatar Airways, Japan Airlines, the Avianca group, American Airlines and Finnair.
