IAG Cargo was created following the merger of British Airways World Cargo and Iberia Cargo in April 2011.
In 2022, the firm’s network saw significant growth, re-establishing its pre-pandemic shape across 6 continents. Notable regions included Asia – with IAG Cargo now operating 112 weekly services between India and London, an increase from 104 pre-pandemic.
Additional enhancements to the network capacity came through the development of European freighter opportunities that fed into IAG Cargo’s hubs throughout the year, which continue into 2023.
