Worldwide, the cargo industry is undergoing a revamp as operators reassess their current operations and look at new ways of reaching out to emerging markets,” said the Qatar Airways CEO. “The freighter industry is facing changing demands in the industrial and private sectors as we see an increase in activity and investment worldwide. “Here in Doha for example, the demand for increased freighter services inbound has seen our own airline increase its capacity, as well as reaching out to new destinations as the demand for outbound cargo around the world also intensifies.” Last year Qatar Airways added 10 destinations to its worldwide cargo network, including Amman, Budapest, Erbil and Karachi. “Increasingly, we need to look at how we prepare our employees and our stakeholders for these changing times, the impact of air freight on other sectors, our environmental footprint and the effect of our cargo operations on other global economies,” said Al Baker. The new cargo terminal at Hamad International Airport with state-of-the-art infrastructure will be able to facilitate 1.4 million tonnes of freight each year, continuing to provide a world-class cargo service with a commitment to offering only the very best Five Star service to the airline’s valued customers worldwide. Qatar Airways Cargo will add new aircraft to its fleet and more freighter destinations will be added in 2013. It currently serves 41 dedicated freighter routes with seven cargo aircraft to destinations within Qatar Airways’ global operations, including those not served by scheduled passenger flights.
