British Airways Regional Cargo United Kingdom

In 2008, WFS acquired a majority 60% shareholding in British Airways Regional Cargo (BARC), joining forces with the company’s other shareholder, British Airways World Cargo.

In the UK and Ireland, BARC operates over 260,000 square feet of cargo handling facilities, notably at London Heathrow, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow as well as other regional locations in the UK and Ireland providing a nationwide network.

BARC’s cargo handling operation manages over 110,000 tonnes a year for British Airways and other international airlines and also provides a road transport network connecting all of the locations. The BARC cargo handling operations were rebranded as Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) under the deal.

The sales activities undertaken by BARC for British Airways – and now IAG Cargo – continue as a dedicated division with its own management.
