Hangar 51 becomes IAGi

Hangar 51 becomes IAGi

Launched in 2016, Hangar 51 has been at the forefront of innovation in aviation, partnering with over 100 start-ups to test their technologies in real-world operations and providing strategic investment for some of the most promising technologies. To build on this success and further strengthen our position as a leader in aviation technology and transformation, we are excited to introduce IAGi, our new innovation brand.  

Our mission remains unchanged – to discover, test, implement and invest in game-changing technologies that will drive impact and value for our Group. However, as we continue to expand our activities, we recognise the need for a refreshed identity - one that brings us closer to the IAG brand and helps us grow our reputation in the broader innovation ecosystem. After extensive research and collaboration, IAGi was born.  

Introducing IAGi

IAGi represents our ambition of being at the forefront of innovation in the aviation industry, leveraging cutting-edge technology and new strategies to enhance our operations and customer experience. With this dedicated brand for innovation, we aim to establish our reputation as innovation leaders, attract top talent and partners, and showcase the value innovation brings to the profitability and performance of our business.  

Looking Ahead

The transition from Hangar 51 to IAGi is more than just a name change – we are more committed than ever to fostering meaningful collaborations that drive innovation. We have some exciting plans under development for this year and invite you to stay connected with us and explore the opportunities on offer. If you’re at a start-up or scale-up with an exciting solution for the aviation industry, please get in touch - we would love to hear from you.
