Qatar Airways Cargo joins Pharma.Aero

Collaboration between members of Pharma.Aero will strengthen the pharma supply chain

Qatar Airways Cargo has become a member of Pharma.Aero, a worldwide platform catered to excellence in pharma transportation, effective 5 July 2021.

Both organisations share a common goal of achieving excellence in reliable end-to-end air transportation for pharma shippers. Through the membership, the airline will also participate in Pharma.Aero’s board meetings and focus groups to contribute its expertise.

The non-profit organisation with its headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, brings added value for the shipper by placing them as strategic priorities of Pharma.Aero, providing insights into the capabilities of the air cargo industry, as well as facilitating direct collaboration with the different air cargo stakeholders in the supply chain.

“The full membership with Pharma.Aero will allow us to share and receive market knowledge and also collaborate with different air cargo stakeholders in the supply chain which will ultimately lead to continuous improvement of life science, medtech and the pharma air cargo supply chain,” affirmed Guillaume Halleux, Chief Officer Cargo, Qatar Airways. “The onboarding of Qatar Airways Cargo underlines our worldwide impact as a neutral collaboration platform for the global air cargo industry and pharma and life science sector,” asserted Nathan De Valck, Chairman, Pharma.Aero. Qatar Airways Cargo has invested considerably in quality handling, infrastructure, digitalisation, facilities, people and procedures at each of its 85+ pharma stations including the Doha hub, adhering to high operating standards for transporting temperature-controlled products. Qatar Airways Cargo announces the further rollout of third-party eBooking platform, WebCargo by

Freightos across several countries effective 23 August 2021. Forwarders in the carrier’s worldwide network will be able to place eBookings from both, its online and offline origins with access to live rates and capacity on the WebCargo platform. This will enhance their booking experience with the airline, resulting in higher efficiencies and real-time responses for availability.

“At Qatar Airways Cargo, the customer is at the core of all our activities and we will continue actively with our digitalisation initiatives for the benefit of our customers,” stated Guillaume Halleux, Chief Officer Cargo, and Qatar Airways.

“Qatar Airways Cargo is proud to expand our partnership to include an additional 39 countries, allowing key markets such as India, Japan, and Latin America direct access to real-time pricing, capacity, and bookings on the world’s largest cargo airline,” commented Ziv Schreiber, CEO, Freightos Group.

Since launching WebCargo in February 2021 across France, Germany, Italy, South Africa, Spain and the Netherlands, the airline has been quick to implement WebCargo across several countries in Europe and most recently, the USA in July 2021.

The global implementation across the carrier’s network will cover 72 countries where customers will have instant access to capacity and pricing.
