Qatar Airways Cargo, the world’s leading air cargo carrier, is boosting belly-hold flight frequencies, in addition to its scheduled freighter capacity to strategic international destinations this winter to meet rising demand during the peak season. Notably, London will see a historic increase from 8 to 10 daily flights—marking the highest-ever frequency for Qatar Airways—while Zanzibar will benefit from widebody aircraft service.
Located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Qatar Airways Cargo’s hub at the award-winning Hamad International Airport continues to play a pivotal role in global trade. This winter, the airline is enhancing connectivity across major trade routes, further strengthening its position as a bridge between East and West.
“With over 60 freighter destinations and more than 170 passenger destinations, Qatar Airways Cargo already offers an unmatched global network,” said Mark Drusch, Chief Officer Cargo at Qatar Airways Cargo. “But excellence is a journey, not a destination. We are continuously refining our capacity and operations to meet dynamic market demands, especially as we head into the peak season. These frequency increases reflect our commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance cargo solutions across the globe”
