IAG said it was developed in response to rising industry demand for tailored AOG logistics services. According to IAG, the service is designed to enable rapid recovery when aircraft are grounded, aiming to minimize downtime and help operators meet their schedules.<\/p>\n<p>IAG Cargo operates across a network of more than 250 destinations and holds a presence near major manufacturing and maintenance hubs in Europe and North America. It said being near these locations will help customers get quicker access to essential aircraft parts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re addressing the industry\u2019s need for a rapid and specialist response when unexpected technical issues leave aircraft on the ground,\u201d said IAG Cargo Chief Commercial Officer David Rose.<\/p>\n<p>IAG cited recent market research that valued the AOG logistics sector at $3.14 billion in 2025 and anticipates it will grow to $4.16 billion by 2032. The majority of this will be driven by increasing air traffic, aging aircraft fleets, and operators adopting leaner inventory strategies.<\/p>\n<p>IAG is made up of flag carriers British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus and Spanish LCCs Vueling and Level. The cargo division was formed in 2011 following the merger of British Airways World Cargo and Iberia Cargo and utilizes freighter capacity from its sister airlines\u2019 passenger aircraft. The cargo business\u2019 main hubs are located at London Heathrow, Dublin and Madrid.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author--teaser\"> <img data-opt-id=758893364 fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1&w=75&resize=75&ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1&w=100&resize=100&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1&w=150&resize=150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1&w=240&resize=240&ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1&w=320&resize=320&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1&w=500&resize=500&ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1&w=640&resize=640&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1&w=800&resize=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1&w=1024&resize=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1&w=1280&resize=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1&w=1600&resize=1600&ssl=1 1600w\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationweek.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/author_thumbnail\/public\/2025-12\/pozzi_newer.png?h=653d7163&itok=ULB00B6O&ssl=1\" alt class=\"img author__image\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"author--teaser__content\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/aviationweek.com\/author\/james-pozzi\" class=\"author--teaser__name\">James Pozzi<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"author--teaser__bio\">As Aviation Week’s MRO Editor EMEA, James Pozzi covers the latest industry news from the European region and beyond.
