IAG Cargo invests €1.5 million in perishables facility at Madrid hub

IAG Cargo, the cargo division of International Airlines Group (IAG), has invested €1.5 million into the expansion of its temperature-controlled perishables facility in Madrid.

This forms part of a total €12 million invested in the business’ Spanish hub over the last six years, says an official release.

“As the first point of entry into the EU for perishables, IAG Cargo boasts an extensive network of connections from Latin America, with Madrid serving as a vital centre for distribution of produce across the region. The investment will increase the total capacity of the facility by 45 percent and will house 1,340 square metres of dedicated temperature-controlled space for perishable goods, offering customers the largest cooling chambers at Madrid airport. These chambers bring improved reliability and efficiency to IAG Cargo’s cold chain operations in Europe and are monitored 24/7 to ensure temperature sensitive goods are held in the correct conditions.”
