IAG Cargo plans to expand fleet, add flights to Asia

IAG Cargo is hoping to benefit from the addition of new flights to Asia, North America and South America as part of the airline group’s summer schedule. The cargo division of the IAG Group said a major highlight of the summer schedule – running from April to October – was the return of daily flights to Kuala Lumpur from Heathrow, which are due to start on 1 April utilising Boeing 787-9 capacity. Capacity across North America will “grow significantly”, including the return of flights to Denver from Dublin as well as additional services on routes such as Chicago, Vancouver and Washington from Heathrow.

In Latin America, services to Rio de Janeiro from Madrid will increase from four to six flights per week, ”supporting growing demand in the region”.
