Qatar Airways Cargo announced the expansion of its cargo network in Asia Pacific with the launch of a twice weekly Boeing 777 freighter service to Osaka, Japan effective 14th January 2020.
The Boeing 777 freighter will depart Doha on Tuesdays and Fridays each week, arriving in Osaka on the following day, and returning via Hong Kong. Approximately 200 tons of cargo capacity will be offered each way per week, benefitting importers and exporters with increased capacity on the route.
The airline has a strong belly-hold presence in Asia Pacific with 35 destinations served by the Qatar Airways passenger network and a freighter network of 10 destinations. The new destination Osaka will increase the carrier’s freighter network in Asia Pacific to 11 destinations.
Focusing on customer centricity, the cargo carrier is expanding its network globally. It recently announced a major expansion in South America with four new freighter destinations Campinas (Brazil), Santiago (Chile), Bogotá (Colombia) launching on 16th January 2020 and Lima (Peru) launching soon.
Five more Boeing 777 freighters will join its fleet from April 2020 onwards making it one of the largest freighter operators globally.
