Qatar Airways Cargo published its latest network enhancements last week, which show that it is significantly strengthening its worldwide reach, not only in resuming operations on certain routes, but also announcing new destinations and frequency increases. Together, those changes amount to a 12% increase in cargo capacity across the carrier’s network.
Headline additions include two new passenger destinations – Caracas, Venezuela, and Bogotá, Colombia – launching 22JUL26, with twice-weekly flights. Qatar Airways becomes the first airline to operate belly-hold cargo flights from the Middle East to both South American capitals, offering 20 tons of capacity each way per week.
On the freighter front, Boeing 777 freighter services to Vienna are recommencing, integrated in the Doha–Budapest–Vienna–Doha route. Warsaw (via Budapest) is being increased to two B777 freighter flights. Vienna grows from 4 weekly flights to 7 passenger flights per week (73 tons), plus 100 tons of weekly freighter capacity, while Warsaw now offers 273+ tons of combined weekly capacity each way. Other route resumptions further bolster the network. Helsinki returns on 25JUL26, and Tokyo Haneda on 16JUL26 – each launching with four weekly passenger flights before scaling to seven weekly from 01AUG26.
Capacity ramp-ups are happening in every region. São Paulo reaches 479+ tons of combined weekly capacity with 14 passenger flights and four freighters. Hong Kong commands a dominant 4,474+ tons weekly through 42 freighter rotations and boosted passenger services. Amman and Beirut each double their passenger frequencies to 14 weekly flights, while Dammam, Dhaka, and Kathmandu see sharp frequency increases across Asia and the Middle East.
“Strategically located at the crossroads of global trade, Hamad International Airport serves as a critical hub connecting East and West,” the carrier noted, emphasizing its position as the world’s leading air cargo carrier. All capacity is bookable via Qatar Airways Cargo’s Digital Lounge e-booking platform or through local sales teams.
