Qatar Airways Cargo celebrates a decade of flying to Kenya
QATAR Airways Cargo recently celebrated 10 years of operating services into Kenya by holding a gala reception attended by the carrier's customers and business partners, including Qatar's Ambassador to Kenya, Ibrahim Mohamed Al-Abdulla, and acting managing director of Kenya Airport, Yatich Kangugo.
The carrier launched services to Nairobi in 2006 with two Airbus A300 freighters. Today, it operates seven A330 freighters and transports belly-hold cargo on 21 passenger aircraft to Nairobi each week, offering a total capacity of 232 tonnes into Nairobi and 362 tonnes out of Nairobi each week, reported e-TurboNews, Hawaii.
Cargo chief Ulrich Ogiermann was quoted as saying: "Kenya is an important market for us, and we are a great partner with the businesses that need high quality, reliable cargo services. We anticipate continuous growth as we begin our second decade of freighter operations into the country."
In April the cargo carrier introduced QR Express, an airport-to-airport freight service for time-critical shipments.
