”London Heathrow is central to our global network, and I’m looking forward to working with the team to enhance how we operate and further raise the standard of service and performance,” commented Josh Lane.

Additionally, as Director, Lane will be responsible for all cargo operations at Heathrow. His focus will be on streamlining processes, introducing new technologies, and improving service quality. That includes leveraging AI for quicker, data-driven decisions across the supply chain.

Moreover, the appointment supports IAG Cargo’s strategy to raise operational standards and maintain a consistent level of service worldwide. With a network that reaches six continents, the company handles a wide variety of cargo, from perishables and pharmaceuticals to live animals and high-value goods.
