Congratulations to the IAB team who began handling Aer Lingus in Washington Dulles International Airport yesterday, August 29, 2016.

Erick Lynch, Area Customer Service Manager for IAG Cargo was thrilled to have Air General as their new cargo handling partner in IAD. Erick said, “Air General’s professionalism and consistency in meeting the customer’s needs, is a perfect matchup with Aer Lingus”.

We’d like to thank all of the supporting staff who helped make this startup a success, especially MCO’s Daniel Watson and Brian Williams who trained our staff & John Dovalis, who allowed them to come to IAD, and of course IAB’s Station Manager, Hicham Inezli, IAB’s Operations Manager, Dany Ghattas for their dedication to meeting the customer’s needs

Air General with British Airways Cargo Managers at the Acentis facility at London-Heathrow

As many of you know, Air General has 8 British Airways/IAG Cargo operations (AUS, DEN, DFW, IAH, IAD, ORD, MCO and TPA), which is more than half of the 15 total US destinations that BA operates in.

As such, BA recognized how critical we are in the US market so they invited all our BA station managers as well as several others from the Home Office out to London for a ground handling review.

This was an excellent opportunity for Air General and it’s managers to meet with key people from BA’s London based team. They also had a bit of fun touring London and visiting BA’s massive cargo hub at London-Heathrow Airport (LHR) as well as BA’s Ascentis cargo facility.

Air General dispatched two Aer Lingus 330s from Chicago, Illinois to Dublin, Ireland on April 7th, making Chicago the second airport in which we handle freight for Aer Lingus.  We have been the cargo handling company for Aer Lingus in MCO for over five years.
