IAG Cargo, the cargo division of International Airlines Group (IAG), has announced that from November 2, its London Heathrow and Jeddah King Abdulaziz International service will return.
The service will run six times a week. It will be operated by a Boeing 787 widebody aircraft and will complement IAG Cargo’s existing connectivity to Saudi Arabia via the 10-times weekly London Heathrow to Riyadh King Khalid International Airport route.
Camilo Garcia Cervera, chief sales and marketing officer at IAG Cargo, said: “In the first quarter of 2024, trade in goods and services between the UK and Saudi Arabia totalled £17.6 billion. The resumption of the Jeddah service – which has been paused since the Covid-19 pandemic – and the additional capacity to Saudi Arabia is therefore timely and will ensure additional choice and flexibility for our customers.
“Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport is a vital air cargo hub for trade between the East and West and with plans to double its cargo handling capacity, we are very happy to announce the return of Jeddah to our expansive network which spans six continents.”
