Qatar Airways launches air cargo service to and from Boston and Doha
QATAR Airways, the world's third largest air cargo operator, has commenced daily cargo service between Logan Field (BOS) and Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Doha.
All cargo is being transported on board the Airbus A350, as part of the airline's daily, non-stop passenger service, which launched on March 16.
While the daily A350 service is expected to transport 40 tons of cargo per week to Boston, the outbound flight to Doha will carry an estimated 90 tons per week to Qatar Airways' network of over 150 destinations around the world.
MOST of exports will be live lobsters, primarily headed to major Asian markets, including Hanoi, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Singapore, Yangon, Hong Kong and Seoul.
Boston becomes the airline's 14th cargo destination in the Americas, with freighters operating to six destinations: Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta and Mexico.
"There is a great deal of excitement surrounding our launch of daily passenger service to Boston," said Qatar Airways Chief Officer Cargo, Ulrich Ogiermann.
In order to preserve the highest quality and extend the shelf life of these and other perishable items, Qatar Airways Cargo employs its QR Fresh air freight service.
This innovative solution maintains optimal temperature for perishable products such as fruits, flowers, vegetables, meat, and fish from their origin airport through to their final destination.
Qatar Airways served as the global launch partner for the state-of-the-art Airbus A350. Currently, the airline has eight A350s in service, flying to four continents, including service along their Doha-Philadelphia route.
In addition, Qatar Airways has eighty A350s on order with Airbus, as part of the airline's commitment to maintaining the industry's youngest, most advanced fleet.
Qatar Airways Cargo serves 50 exclusive freighter destinations worldwide via its Doha hub and also delivers freight to more than 150 key business and leisure destinations globally on 176 aircraft.
The Qatar Airways Cargo fleet now includes eight Airbus 330, eight Boeing 777 freighters and one Boeing 747-400 freighter. At the Paris Airshow 2015, Qatar Airways placed a firm order for four B777 freighters in addition to the four B777 freighters ordered at the Farnborough Airshow 2014.
