Qatar Airways Cargo has expanded its UK operations with additional Boeing 777 freighter services to London Heathrow, increasing cargo capacity between the United Kingdom, its Doha hub and major international markets. The seasonal flights operate on the Doha–Heathrow–Paris–Doha and Doha–Heathrow–Milan–Doha routings, providing exporters and freight forwarders with greater flexibility during the busy summer shipping season.
The additional services are part of a wider network expansion that includes increased capacity to destinations such as Dallas, Brussels and Tokyo, alongside higher frequencies to Dhaka and Entebbe. Combined with the resumption of passenger services to cities including Casablanca, Kuala Lumpur and Helsinki, the carrier is also adding significant belly-hold capacity across its global network.
For UK shippers, the expanded Heathrow operation improves access to Qatar Airways Cargo’s extensive international network via Doha, particularly for time-critical and high-value shipments. The airline said the additional capacity is intended to support growing customer demand and strengthen supply chain resilience as global air freight markets continue to recover. The latest expansion also reinforces Heathrow’s role as one of Europe’s key gateways for intercontinental cargo flows and underlines Qatar Airways Cargo’s strategy of investing in markets where demand for reliable long-haul freight capacity remains strong.
