IAG Cargo, the air freight division of International Airlines Group, has expanded its global operations by partnering with MASkargo, the cargo arm of Malaysia Aviation Group, to manage its shipments at London Heathrow. Under the agreement, IAG Cargo will act as the ground handling agent for MASkargo, processing all London-bound shipments through its Premia facility at Heathrow.

MASkargo, which offers a range of air, land, and sea cargo solutions, currently operates twice-daily flights between Kuala Lumpur and London. The partnership highlights London Heathrow’s strategic role as a major hub in the global air cargo network.

Adam Carson, Chief Operations Officer at IAG Cargo, said: “Welcoming MASkargo to our London Heathrow hub marks an important step as we continue to expand our third-party handling capabilities. With its strategic location, Heathrow is a prime gateway for MASkargo, and our hub offers exceptional airside access and world-class facilities, enabling us to deliver the reliability and service excellence that customers expect.”

Mark Jason Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of MASkargo, added: “Partnering with IAG Cargo at London Heathrow marks another milestone in our journey to enhance global connectivity and service excellence. This collaboration not only reinforces our commitment to delivering reliability and quality for our customers but also strengthens MASkargo’s presence in one of the world’s key cargo hubs. Through London Heathrow (LHR), we are able to offer smoother transfer experiences and wider access to major destinations across Europe and the Americas via our network of strategic airline partners.”

“IAG Cargo’s modern infrastructure and experienced handling team align perfectly with our operational standards, supporting our goal of delivering a world-class cargo experience.”
