Looking for a challenge in one of the world’s largest airfreight logistics organisations?

At IAG Cargo, we are in the business of moving things. From antibiotics to rhinoceroses, gold bullion to avocados, and everything in between. Whatever people need, wherever they are, IAG Cargo is there to bring them the necessary and niche.

As the logistics and cargo brand of International Airlines Group, you will work across the globally recognised brands of Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, Level and Vueling. We believe in keeping the world’s economies turning, building a great place to work for our customers and colleague alike, and doing everything with Determined Attitudes, Curious Minds, Collaborative Actions and Heartfelt Pride.

About the role

Embark on a two-year learning and development programme starting in September 2025, where you will enjoy hands-on learning and make a genuine business impact through two to three placements across all areas of IAG Cargo. Placements can include exciting and demanding roles within a breadth of business areas .

Unlike many other graduate schemes in the industry, you will be encouraged and supported to contribute and make a difference from day one. Our placements consist of taking on responsibilities and challenges for real projects. You may find yourself working in our brand-new climate-controlled Operations facility, New Premia, at London Heathrow, or even overseas with our international colleagues.

Our objective is to support you in reaching your full potential and setting you up for success.

Alongside your professional development, you will be able to take charge of your own learning journey with a tailored programme, which includes a bespoke induction, access to a global digital learning platform, corporate social responsibility opportunities, targeted workshops developing both your technical and soft skills and your own personal development fund. All graduates will also get the opportunity to take part in our mentor programme, as well as the chance to travel to our other hubs outside of the UK to see how we operate and work together.

It’s all about you

We are eager to welcome individuals who demonstrate the IAG Cargo values:

• Determined Attitudes – a strong drive to succeed, a commitment to excellence, and sharp creative and strategic thinking
• Heartfelt Pride – going above and beyond, from day-to-day basics to large, long-term projects
• Curious Mind – an interest in the logistics and air cargo industry, and a fresh approach to traditional challenges
• Collaborative Actions – a proactive attitude, effective communication, and the desire to challenge the status quo and drive positive change

To apply, candidates must:

• Hold (or demonstrate proof they will hold upon graduation) a 2:2 degree or above (or equivalent) within the last ten years from any degree discipline
• Willing to work in different locations and within various business functions, as duty travel and/or shift work may be required depending on placement
• Have the right to live and work full-time in the UK for the duration of the programme

We’ll treat you right

As well as a competitive salary of £29,000, bonus, 26 days’ holiday, pension and ability to opt-in to a generous life assurance and healthcare scheme, we also offer:

• Incredible staff discounts on hotels, car hire and our staff travel flights

What our Graduates say

 “It makes such a difference to be able to walk around the office and know people by name, rather than just by title. The friendly atmosphere encourages collaboration and has made me feel very welcome as a graduate at IAG Cargo”
