IAG boosts Latin America import capacity

[ April 30, 2024   //   Chris Lewis ]

IAG Cargo has invested €1.5 million in expanding its temperature-controlled perishables facility in Madrid, part of a €12 million investment in its Spanish hub over the last six years. It will increase capacity of the facility by 45%, offering the largest cooling chambers at the hub.

It will benefit customers importing fruit and vegetables, including asparagus from Peru and Los Angeles, papayas from Brazil, and mangos from Dominican Republic, as well as meat from Argentina and Uruguay, and fish, such as hake and salmon, from Chile.

Director of Spanish hub and operations, Fernando Terol Armas, said: “With the expansion of our temperature-controlled space and state-of-the-art cooling chambers, we can now offer even greater capacity for perishable goods, ensuring their integrity is maintained throughout the supply chain. This investment will enable us to continue to serve as a vital link between Latin America and Europe, and we look forward to supporting our customers’ growth in this region.”
