New routes for IAG Cargo have been announced for the company’s next-generation aircraft which will see the company’s A380 landing in Johannesburg from February 2014. This aircraft offers an increased cargo capacity for customers as well as specialist features for the safe transportation of temperature-sensitive goods.

The aircraft is well-suited to the transport of highly sensitive goods; such as pharmaceuticals and perishables. It also offers specialised service on-board flights; being enabled with air conditioning in the forward hold and heating and ventilation in the rear hold.

The modernisation of IAG Cargo’s fleet will enable a set and maintained hold temperature to within 1˚C accuracy, further ensuring the safe delivery of some of the world’s most precious and sensitive cargo.

To demonstrate the significant benefits that customers will gain over the coming years from the introduction of next-generation aircraft, IAG Cargo has released a film focusing on the features of the aircraft most relevant to the cargo industry.
