The team at Qatar Airways Cargo has specialist knowledge of transporting a comprehensive range of commodities, assisted by modern computerised cargo systems that monitor every aspect of the operation from reservations, ground handling to tracking and tracing from the origin airport to the final destination airport.

Care and trust are key attributes of all of our cargo staff. It puts freight forwarders' minds at ease to know that Qatar Airways Cargo can deliver complete satisfaction, whatever the nature of the cargo.

Management of transit times and temperatures are crucial to perishable items such as fresh fruit, flowers and fish. For example, from the moment the stem of a flower is cut, the clock is ticking. With streamlined movement, minimum transit times and climate control, Qatar Airways Cargo takes fresh flowers from Johannesburg to major markets in Europe.

Valuable items demand a different kind of attention. These goods require constant monitoring and secure handling processes. Set procedures have been defined to ensure high security standards are met. Often these items are irreplaceable and no financial compensation can make up for any loss or damage. When we accept valuable cargo, we maintain our responsibilities to ensure best practices are achieved throughout the loading, handling and storage processes.

Our live cargo shipments demand the highest levels of care and attention, especially when it comes to the transporting of thoroughbred racehorses. Time, conditions and security are all paramount in ensuring the safe arrival of such priceless creatures, ensuring any distress or discomfort is reduced whilst in our care. Of course, we must comply with IATA Live Animal Regulations, but it's the extra care and attention which really makes the difference. when flying live animals with Qatar Airways Cargo.
