Qatar Airways Cargo to launch freighter route to Dallas/Fort Worth

In total, Qatar Airways Cargo provides service to some 13 destinations in the Americas, with additional upload provided in the belly hold of the airline’s commercial aircraft.

Qatar Airways Cargo will launch a new freighter route to Dallas/Fort Worth from January 19, increasing its network to six freighter destinations in the Americas.
A Qatar Airways Cargo Boeing 777F will fly two times a week to Dallas from Liege.

Import capacity into Dallas will increase to a total of 300 tonnes per month.
“We are delighted to start 2016 with the addition of Dallas/Fort Worth to our network. This is just the beginning of our expansion plans for this year, which will see both our network and our fleet growing in size and strength,” said Ulrich Ogiermann, Qatar Airways chief officer (Cargo).
“The US is a very important market for Qatar Airways Cargo and Dallas/Fort Worth is strategically well placed to give us further reach into the region.”
“We are proud to welcome Qatar Airways Cargo, one of the world’s largest and fastest growing cargo carriers, to Dallas/Fort Worth Airport,” said John Ackerman, executive vice-president (Global Strategy and Development) for Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.
“This addition to our air cargo network is a reflection of the strength of the Dallas/Fort Worth market. Cargo and logistics is a strategic priority, and will continue to help our Airport grow and create economic benefits for the Dallas/Fort Worth region.”
