Qatar Airways Cargo set a new record today by operating 136 cargo flights to over 50 destinations worldwide in one day.
“This included 75 freighter flights and 61 freight-only passenger flights,” said Qatar Airways on its official twitter account on Thursday.
With global air freight capacity declining, Qatar Airways Cargo has increased operations to ensure the continuity of global trade and movement of essential medical and aid supplies. The airline continues to operate a significant cargo schedule with approximately 100 flights per day.
During the past month the cargo operator has worked closely with governments and NGOs to transport over 100,000 tonnes of medical and aid supplies to impacted regions around the world on both scheduled and charter services, the equivalent of roughly 1,000 fully loaded Boeing 777 freighters.
