IAG Cargo begins handling MASkargo operations at Heathrow hub
The partnership adds to IAG Cargo’s strategy of growing its handling capabilities for global carriers at Heathrow.
IAG Cargo has started managing MASkargo’s shipments at London Heathrow, expanding its third-party handling portfolio at one of its busiest hubs. The move follows a new partnership under which IAG Cargo becomes the ground handling agent for MASkargo, with all shipments now processed through its Premia facility.
The agreement brings MASkargo into IAG Cargo’s network at a time when the Malaysian carrier operates twice-daily flights between Kuala Lumpur and London. The shift reinforces Heathrow’s role as a key transit point in MASkargo’s global freight operations and supports both carriers’ plans to widen access for customers moving cargo across Europe and the Americas.
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, said, “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.”
MASkargo, part of Malaysia Aviation Group, provides scheduled and charter air freight, cargo terminal handling and integrated logistics services across air, land and sea. The partnership adds to IAG Cargo’s strategy of growing its handling capabilities for global carriers at Heathrow.
