Qatar Airways has resumed its freighter services to Bahrain, effective 1 September 2023. Capacity to and from Bahrain can be booked online on the carrier’s Digital Lounge platform or via third-party marketplaces. 

The airline will offer more than 200 tonnes of weekly cargo capacity to and from Bahrain, on top of belly space from 21 weekly narrow-body passenger flights to the Middle Eastern city. 

The carrier said imports into Bahrain predominantly consist of general cargo, perishables like fruits, vegetables and meat, whilst exports consist of general cargo and dangerous goods. With the addition of Bahrain, Qatar Airways Cargo now serves 24 destinations in the Middle East with freighter and passenger belly-hold flights, providing a combined weekly cargo capacity of over 4,500 tonnes to and from the region.  

Ms. Liesbeth Oudkerk, SVP Cargo Sales and Network Planning said, “We are glad to be back in Bahrain with dedicated freighters three times a week. Bahrain is an important market for us, and having a consistent freighter service will contribute to the economic and trade growth between Qatar and Bahrain.”
