IAG Cargo has announced its summer 2026 schedule, adding a new route between London Heathrow Airport and St. Louis starting April 19, 2026.
The new service will operate four times per week through October. It marks the airline’s 27th U.S. destination and offers the only direct connection between Heathrow and the Midwest hub, improving access to manufacturing and aerospace supply chains.
The carrier is also increasing frequencies across key North American routes. Flights from Heathrow to Chicago and Washington Dulles International Airport will rise from 14 to 21 per week. Services to Austin and San Diego will double to 14 weekly flights.
In Europe, additional widebody capacity between Heathrow and Madrid will improve transatlantic connections. Madrid will also see the return of services to San Francisco.
In Asia, flights between Heathrow and Tokyo Haneda Airport will increase to twice daily, strengthening Europe–Asia connectivity.
The airline is also expanding in Canada. Flights between Heathrow and Vancouver will increase to up to 14 weekly during peak summer, alongside a new daily service from London Gatwick Airport.
The expanded schedule aims to give freight forwarders more flexibility and capacity across major global trade lanes.
