Qatar Airways Cargo has unveiled a new product, AEROSPACE, designed to provide logistics solutions for the aerospace industry. The product is tailored to meet the needs of manufacturers, freight forwarders, and partners working with commercial airlines, as well as those serving the defence and space technology sectors.
AEROSPACE provides transportation for aircraft engines, spares, and other critical aerospace parts and components. Qatar Airways Cargo has introduced bespoke, shock-absorbing engine transport dollies at its hub in Doha, capable of carrying up to 20,000 kg.
“Time is money! That saying is particularly true when it comes to aviation in all its forms: every hour of downtime translates into lost revenue for airlines or sunk costs for aerospace projects,” says Mark Drusch, Qatar Airways Chief Officer Cargo. “Factor in the additional need for safety and constant supervision, and it’s clear that our product—AEROSPACE—is the ideal solution for time-critical aviation parts and components.”
AEROSPACE is available across Qatar Airways Cargo’s network, with the highest loading priority, a dedicated handling team, and Control Tower support. The product also includes a dedicated special loads team that responds to customer enquiries within 45 minutes.
Qatar Airways Cargo’s network includes 28 Boeing 777 freighters and 230 belly-hold passenger aircraft, offering fast connections and tail-totail transfers in as little as 4 hours. Ad hoc charter operations can also be arranged.
“With our AEROSPACE product, we will be the number one logistics expert for every type of aerospace product—whether it is for commercial aviation, defence, or even space technologies,” Mark Drusch said. “I can assure you already today that, thanks to our in-house advanced screening techniques and our highly skilled loading teams, your aerospace shipments are in the best of hands and will be delivered quickly and safely, utilising our bespoke transport dollies in Doha, to wherever they are urgently needed.”
