TORONTO: October 17, 2018. Qatar Airways Cargo has introduced a twice-weekly B777 freighter service from Doha to Macau, Los Angeles and Mexico City with a return via Liege.

Announced to coincide with the Air Cargo Forum organised by The International Air Cargo Association in Toronto this week (pictured), Qatar Airways Chief Officer Cargo Guillaume Halleux said: “We have launched our newest freighter destination, Macau, just in time for the holiday season when air freight demand is high and the market is strong.

“The new services will connect manufacturing industries and exporters from the region to North America directly and quickly, without requiring a stopover at our hub in Doha,” he added.

Macau becomes Qatar Airways Cargo’s fourth freighter destination in Greater China after Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shanghai in addition to serving seven cities with passenger aircraft.

The airline said it expects to carry electronics, garments and e-commerce exports to North America and Europe without routing via its Doha hub.
