IAG Cargo announces that it will provide additional cargo capacity on flights from Hyderabad to London. The capacity will be generated from an additional weekly passenger flight originating at HYD airport, serviced by a Boeing 767 aircraft. The additional flight, which commences on 31st March 2013, will benefit customers in this important trade hub by offering increased access to IAG Cargo's global network.

In recent years Hyderabad has become an important manufacturing base for pharmaceutical industry products intended for the global market. Through this extra flight, business in Hyderabad will benefit from having greater flexibility over their shipment schedules.

Pravin Singh, Area Commercial Manager South Asia at IAG Cargo, commented: 'We have seen an increase in demand for products coming from Hyderabad, particularly to North and South American markets. This additional capacity represents growth in a commercially important market and provides our customers a much-needed solution for Friday lift. It is particularly exciting to be able to play a role in supporting India's phenomenal economic growth, not least in this important market but also grow our footprint across India'
