Qatar Airways Cargo says it with flowers on Valentine’s Day

VALENTINE’S Day has become a key date in Qatar Airways Cargo’s business calendar. Transporting over 4,000 tonnes of flowers all around the world over a two-week period is a logistical challenge that only few airlines can achieve.

Exported from two main areas, Latin America (Ecuador and Colombia) and Africa (Uganda and Kenya), the flowers travel to five major international destinations: USA, Amsterdam (for distribution across Europe), Australia, the Middle East and Japan.

To satisfy the significant demand during this peak time, Qatar Airways Cargo is intensifying the frequency of its flights to increase capacity. This translates into 10 additional B777 freighter flights from Nairobi to Liege and 10 additional flights from Quito to Amsterdam and Miami, on top of the regular cargo and passenger flights. “In a constantly evolving market, Qatar Airways Cargo has always been able to improve its offering to meet new needs. The launch of The Next Generation, which is accompanied by a new vision of business, is proof of this. Today, in the very demanding period of Valentine’s Day, we are proud to put our expertise and efficiency at the service of our customers,” Guillaume Halleux, Chief Officer Cargo at Qatar Airways Cargo, said.

True to its motto “Moved by People”, Qatar Airways Cargo can be trusted to deliver impeccable service and to guarantee that love will prevail on this special day.
