• Three times a week route will enable flow of pharma goods and automotive parts across the world, as well as whiskey and koi carp 

IAG Cargo has restarted its direct service from the UK to Tokyo. The three times per week, year-round, service will depart from London Heathrow.  

Restoring the London–Tokyo service, which was paused due to coronavirus, will be welcomed by IAG Cargo’s customers on both sides of the Pacific.

Tokyo is particularly significant for the export of pharma goods, which can be moved using IAG Cargo’s Constant Climate service.

This cold chain product is designed to process time and temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals.

Alec Rayner, Area Commercial Manager for Japan and Korea, IAG Cargo, said: “Japan is an important part of our network and we are pleased to be re-opening London Heathrow-Tokyo Haneda for our customers.

“The route is vital for them to stay connected with their trading partners worldwide, allowing the movement of Japanese pharma, automotive and manufacturing goods to reach hundreds of destinations.”
