Qatar opens freight centre in Doha with pallet loading upgrade
QATAR Airways Cargo has opened a Freight Load Control Centre at its Doha hub to facilitate pallet loading procedures for the airline's fleet of 20 freighter aircraft.
According to the carrier, the freight load control centre will contribute to a better utilisation of cargo volume and weight capacity on its aircraft, reported London's Air Cargo News.
The airline said the new system is "able to provide specialised support on oversized and special product shipments, thus providing its customers with more cargo space, greater efficiency and quality".
"Automating the weight and balance system will simplify the conventional manual process by reducing the time required to set-up the load-sheet prior to flight departure," said the airline.
"The system reduces time for load planning and weight check processes, allowing the cargo carrier to manage operational and flight turnarounds.
"Supported by accurate data from the system, the cargo carrier is now able to optimise payload and minimise the lateral imbalance of each aircraft, resulting in a significant reduction of fuel consumption," said the statement.
