IAG Cargo flies London to New Orleans to tap oil and gas trade
IAG Cargo has announced that it will commence a new direct service from its London Heathrow hub to New Orleans International Airport (MSY), Louisiana, from March 26 that will better connect its customers to the 350+ destinations in its global network.
The service will be operated four times a week by a Boeing 787-8 aircraft, with a belly hold capacity of up to 15 tonnes and a state-of-the-art air conditioning system to maintain a regular hold temperature to within one degree's accuracy.
Commercial director David Shepherd said: "This new route will add to our strong network offering in North America, giving local businesses a valuable connection to global markets. IAG Cargo will help support business looking to trade in the region by offering a diverse premium product portfolio and opening new export routes.
"The launch of our new 'critical' product in particular will mean emergency shipments, which we anticipate will include machinery parts and oil and gas components from the local area, now benefit from an absolute guarantee to fly."
New Orleans is the largest city in Louisiana, with perishables, oil and machinery parts being key export commodities from the region.
