Qatar Airways Cargo was presented with the All-Cargo Carrier award at the 33rd Cargo Airline of the Year event in London recently.
Termed as the cargo industry “Oscars”, the Cargo Airline of the Year awards event is hosted by Air Cargo News. Each year, customers vote for their favourite carriers based on their efficiency and ease of use. The online voting gives public recognition to those airlines that care about customer service and value for money.

We are grateful to all of our hardworking and committed employees as well as our customers for their continued support.”
