IAG Cargo, the cargo division of International Airlines Group (IAG) has announced it will restart services between London-Heathrow and Beijing and Shanghai after almost two years, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
From April 23, IAG Cargo customers will be able to export and import vital goods on a daily rotation between London-Heathrow and Shanghai Pudong. In addition, services between London-Heathrow and Beijing Daxing will resume on June 3, with four flights each week.
During the early pandemic period, IAG Cargo offered customers cargo-only services and charters between the UK and China to support the delivery of essential cargo needed for the fight against Covid. The business helped governments and private customers transport more than 11,000 tonnes of vital PPE and medical supplies from China.
From January 2020 and summer of 2021, IAG Cargo operated 700 charters and 160 cargo-only flights to China, with the last cargo-only service between London Heathrow and Shanghai in June 2021, and last cargo-only service to Beijing in July 2021.
Said IAG Cargo sales chief Camilo Garcia Cervera: "Europe - China is one of the world's most important trade lanes, and a vital part of our network; we're so pleased to be reopening the route after a long pause."
