Qatar Airways Cargo says it 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.”
For Africa, the increase will be as reflected in the following cities:
- Casablanca: Increased to seven weekly flights (from 4)
- Cape Town: Increased to 12 weekly flights (from 10)
- Johannesburg: Increased to 18 weekly flights (from 14). Three freighter flights also offer 300 tonnes capacity each way per week
- Zanzibar: Daily widebody service begins 26 October 2025.
Notably, the cargo carrier reports that “London will see a historic increase from 8 to 10 daily flights-marking the highest-ever frequency for Qatar Airways.”
Leveraging its unique location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Qatar Airways Cargo says its “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.”
Mark Drusch, Chief Officer Cargo at Qatar Airways Cargo said: “With over 60 freighter destinations and more than 170 passenger destinations, Qatar Airways Cargo already offers an unmatched global network. 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.”
