Euroairlines Group is launching a cargo transport business through its airline partnerships as it looks to leverage the sector’s stability compared with passenger operations.
The Madrid-headquartered group, which operates capacity distribution services through a series of airline partnerships, said the cargo service will be available in more than 75 airports and will operate over 400 direct routes and 600 connecting routes through its partner airlines.
“Our business model allows us to transport cargo in the same way we do with passengers: we connect companies, markets, and destinations through partnerships,” said Antonio López-Lázaro, chief executive of Euroairlines.
The company said the cargo division would offer the new service to existing clients in the passenger division and attract new operators interested in leveraging its ”infrastructure, network and air distribution expertise”.
”Euroairlines is extending its interline agreement system to the cargo sector, enabling it to connect markets, distribute goods, and create new channels of cooperation among airlines,” the company said in a press release.
The company reasoned that one of the key advantages of cargo transport is its greater stability compared to passenger operations, with lower entry barriers and more openness from operators to establish new agreements.
The company is also ”adapting its operations to platforms and technologies specific to the logistics and cargo sector, while maintaining the essence of its flexible, collaborative model with a high level of customer adaptability—an essential factor in its growth”.
“With this new division, we aim to consolidate not only the product but also air operations and service, with the goal of expanding both nationally and internationally,” added Guillermo López-Lázaro, head of the cargo division. “Furthermore, this expansion aims to position Euroairlines as a cargo air bridge connecting Latin America, Europe, and Asia.”
