IAG Cargo restarts key cargo-only services at Hong Kong, Bangkok

To meet the increasing demand for e-commerce and perishables, IAG Cargo is planning to restart its cargo-only services between Heathrow-Hong Kong and Heathrow-Bangkok. While four-time weekly flights between Heathrow and Bangkok resumed on May 24 using a B7, daily flights from Heathrow to Hong Kong will begin from June 1. Daniel Byrne, Regional Commercial Manager, UK and Ireland, IAG Cargo, said in a statement, “Hong Kong and Bangkok are an important part of our network. Goods manufactured in the Far East are quite popular with consumers across the world. With summer shaping up to be a busy period for IAG Cargo and our customers, this air bridge is vital for the movement of e-commerce and perishable products.” Since the beginning of the ongoing pandemic, the business has completed 250 cargo-only flights between Heathrow and Hong Kong.
