Five airlines. One cargo carrier. We are in the business of moving things. From antibiotics to rhinoceros, gold bullion to avocados. Whatever people need, wherever they are. In an era of digital screens and closed borders, we open the skies and fly the world to bring people the things they really need.
We began in 2011, when our founding legacy brands British Airways and Iberia joined to form one of the world’s biggest cargo networks. Soon after, Aer Lingus, Vueling and LEVEL joined IAG, extending our reach even further, providing 500 aircraft, 15,000 flights a week to over 350 destinations. We recognise that our heritage airlines have shaped us – they are the foundation of our future. We took that framework and now have more than nine Partner Plus carriers across the globe, helping to grow IAG Cargo into one of the world’s leading air cargo companies.
