• IAG Cargo, the cargo division of International Airlines Group (IAG), has announced its 2025-26 winter schedule, introducing additional capacity and connectivity across key global trade lanes.
• Among the highlights, IAG Cargo will resume services between London Gatwick (LGW) and Bangkok (BKK), with six weekly services, while the business will restart operations between London Heathrow (LHR) and Abu Dhabi (AUH), offering seven flights per week.

For Irish exporters, a new twice-weekly widebody service between Dublin (DUB) and Madrid (MAD) will provide improved access to IAG Cargo’s extensive network, opening up new trade opportunities across Latin America. The business is also reintroducing its Dublin – Miami (MIA) service with three weekly flights and launching a new route between Madrid and Orlando (MCO), a key Central Florida hub. Dallas (DFW) is back on schedule with seven flights per week from London Heathrow.

In addition to these new and returning routes, IAG Cargo is increasing capacity on several existing services. Flights between London Heathrow and Cape Town (CPT) will increase from seven to 17 per week, while the Heathrow-Miami will double from seven to 14 weekly services. IAG Cargo is also adding capacity between London Heathrow and Bahrain (BAH), with services rising from three to seven flights per week.

IAG Cargo customers will be able to benefit from the new winter schedule from 26th October 2025 through to 28th March 2026.

Camilo Garcia Cervera, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at IAG Cargo, said: “The winter season is a crucial time for global trade, and we’re particularly pleased to see Bangkok return to the network, a key market for many of our customers. The introduction of a wide-body connection between Dublin and Madrid further strengthens our network, providing greater access to key transatlantic and Latin American trade lanes.

“With more wide-body services, greater frequencies, and four hubs, we give businesses of all sizes reliable and timely access to access markets worldwide.”

Out of London, IAG Cargo offers capacity to six continents with over 600 weekly wide-body services. Additionally, Dublin serves as a gateway to North America, boasting over 80 weekly wide-body rotations. The business now offers over 240 weekly wide-body services connecting Madrid and Barcelona with destinations across North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
