Qatar Airways Cargo automates pallet loading onto freighters at Doha
QATAR Airways has set up a Freighter Load Control Centre at its hub in Doha to provide an automated weight and balance system for freighter aircraft that is designed to boost pallet space efficiency and improve pallet loading procedures.
The Freighter Load Control Centre would contribute to a better utilisation of cargo volume and weight capacity on aircraft.
The carrier said it was able to provide specialised support on oversized and special product shipments, thus providing customers with more cargo space and greater efficiency, reported Lloyd's Loading List.
It said automating the weight and balance system would simplify the conventional manual process by reducing the time required to set-up the load-sheet prior to flight departure.
The system reduces time for load planning and weight check processes, enabling the airline to manage operational and flight turnarounds and maintain high levels of on-time performance.
Supported by accurate data from the system, the carrier said it was now able to optimise payload and minimise the lateral imbalance of each aircraft, resulting in lower fuel consumption.
