According to Qatar Airways, the addition of a dedicated freighter service from Warsaw will increase the total weekly cargo capacity to more than 200 tonnes.
In addition, thanks to the launch of freighters, Qatar Airways claims that businesses in Poland benefit from direct main deck freighter capacity for their imports and exports.
The majority of the imports and exports consist of general cargo, and perishables.
Commenting on the service, Elisabeth Oudkerk, SVP Cargo Sales and Network Planning, said:
“Qatar Airways Cargo has been serving Eastern Europe for many years and is very pleased to announce freighters to Warsaw which will complement the passenger flights to this important city. The launch of this service will provide consistent and reliable freighter operations between Poland and Qatar.”
Qatar Airways Cargo currently serves 7 destinations in Eastern Europe, offering both passenger and freighter services. In addition to Warsaw, the company provides structural cargo capacity to and from Budapest, Prague, Bucharest, Zagreb, Belgrade, and Sofia.
