From Mexico to Madrid In October, one IAG Cargo project involved the transportation of 450 artefacts from Mexico City to Madrid.
In what represented a significant milestone for both culture and logistics, IAG Cargo transported these items approximately 5,640 miles, using four Iberia A350 aircrafts.
The artefacts made up Half the World: Women in Indigenous Mexico, the largest exhibition focusing on Mexico’ s indigenous women to be hosted abroad. It was a joint initiative between Spain’ s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through AECID, and Mexico’ s Instituto Nacional de
Antropología e Historia( INAH). Its intention was to celebrate culture and strengthen relationships between Mexico and Spain, building respect and opening the doors for future trade and projects.
The transportation demanded meticulous planning from end to end. Items were securely packed, loaded onto Iberia aircrafts and delivered to the three hosting venues. Given their age, fragility and cultural significance, they required controlled temperatures and precise handling throughout.
“ Iberia works every day to make our commitment to generating prosperity a reality, connecting people and cultures
