The daily services will restart on 27 March, travelling via Singapore with up to 13 tonnes of cargo capacity. A Boeing 787-9 will be used on the route.
Bookings opened on 15 March and a wide variety of goods will travel on the route with popular items including perishables, electronics, luxury goods and cosmetics.
Rob Wiemerink, Regional Commercial Manager for Asia Pacific and Middle East at IAG Cargo says: “We are delighted to see Australia reopen its borders to travellers and in doing so, the re-establishment of an important trade link between Australia, the UK and the rest of the world. It’s fantastic to once again serve customers in this market. The return of these flights will be especially welcomed by exporters and importers in the region.”
The service last operated in early 2020 and has restarted now Australia is open to vaccinated passengers.
