IAG Cargo unveils Winter 2025/26 schedule, restores Gatwick–Bangkok six‑weekly and expands Dublin links

IAG is restoring a six‑weekly Gatwick–Bangkok service and restarting Heathrow operations for the 26 Oct 2025–28 Mar 2026 winter season, a direct capacity increase on the Asia–Europe corridor — a key growth corridor for high‑value goods (see the broader rise in the Asia–Europe air cargo corridor).

The schedule adds a widebody Dublin–Madrid link and resumes Dublin–Miami, repositioning widebody lift and transatlantic connectivity ahead of winter — part of wider Winter 2025/26 network rollouts among European carriers to rebalance capacity.

Changes will affect forwarders and shippers planning seasonal routing and capacity sourcing; this follows other market moves by carriers and new entrants increasing long‑haul freighter and bellyhold options (see recent growth in dedicated long‑haul cargo services such as Maersk Air Cargo's expansion).
