Malaysian carrier's twice-daily Kuala Lumpur-London services will be processed through IAG's Premia facility at its Heathrow estate
IAG Cargo will provide handling services for Malaysian carrier MASkargo at Heathrow Airport as the cargo division looks to expand its third-party operations.
The partnership will see all MASkargo shipments via London being processed through the Premia facility at IAG Cargo’s Heathrow estate.
MASkargo, which is the cargo division of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), currently operates twice-daily flights connecting Kuala Lumpur and London.
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 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, 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.”
Earlier this year, the two cargo divisions along with Qatar Cargo, announced a huge new partnership across their operations, due to begin activities next year.
The joint business aims to bring together the combined expertise and infrastructure of the airlines and is expected to enable a streamlined product offering, enhanced connectivity, faster transit times, and new routing opportunities across the airlines' combined networks.
