The new services will connect Cali and Medellín, in Colombia, and Havana, in Cuba, to IAG Cargo's worldwide 350-strong network of destinations, and will bring the total of IAG Cargo gateways in Latin America up to 19. Furthermore, IAG Cargo is increasing flights to and from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic from five flights a week to one a day, with effect from April 1, 2015. Steve Gunning, CEO at IAG Cargo, commented: "From pharmaceuticals to perishables, Latin America is fast emerging as one of the most important international trade centres – both for production and consumption. From our Madrid hub we have already been able to offer businesses In Latin America and beyond some of the best connectivity options in the world, linking up markets from Asia Pacific all the way across Europe and into Latin America." It is hoped that these new services will be a valuable enabler of trade to and from Latin America.
