Qatar Airways Cargo started operating its second freighter service to Delhi, India from 22 July. This second frequency builds rapidly on the back of the first freighter service from Doha which arrived at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on 4 May, this year the carrier said.

“India is a highly important market for Qatar Airways Cargo,” said Qatar Airways chief officer cargo, Ulrich Ogiermann.  “We are delighted to start our second freighter service to Delhi, just two months after launching the first freighter on 4 May. Delhi has one of India’s largest and fastest growing retail industries, and on top of that, it is an important commercial capital for Asia,” added Ogiermann.

Qatar Airways Cargo now operates the twice-weekly service between Doha and Delhi, using an A330 freighter which is on top of two daily passenger flights to Delhi.

Qatar Airways Cargo recently strengthened its product portfolio with the launch in January 2014 of two new premium services that optimise the transportation of time and temperature-sensitive goods, including high-value pharmaceutical products (QR Pharma) and perishables (QR Fresh).
