Qatar Airways has announced that it has transported nearly 300 tons of essential goods to the State of Qatar since the beginning of March, ensuring the continued supply of vital commodities to the country.
In a statement released Thursday, the airline said it had taken the necessary logistical arrangements to secure the arrival of key supplies, including health medicines, baby milk, fresh food products such as meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, medical equipment, and other essential food items.
The airline noted that it has been bringing more than 200 tons of vital imports per day to Doha, operating cargo flights from major global markets across Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, India, Pakistan, and other international regions.
According to the statement, the efforts come amid the continued closure of Qatar’s airspace since February 28, which has posed operational challenges for the aviation sector. Despite these conditions, Qatar Airways said it has remained committed to supporting the country by maintaining the steady flow of essential imports.
The airline added that, after receiving temporary approval from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority for the partial resumption of air traffic through limited and safe air routes, it has resumed operating cargo flights through these designated corridors. These flights aim to support suppliers, traders, and companies by ensuring the consistent delivery of critical goods to the country.
To further strengthen supply operations, Qatar Airways has repurposed part of its fleet of 30 Boeing 777 freighter aircraft to facilitate the efficient and rapid transportation of essential commodities, prioritizing supplies needed by citizens and residents.
The airline emphasized that it will continue to closely monitor the evolving situation and adjust its services and cargo capacity accordingly, reaffirming its commitment to supporting the State of Qatar’s supply chains and national needs.
