Qatar Airways announced that since the beginning of March it has made the necessary arrangements to ensure the arrival of essential goods to the State of Qatar, with approximately 300 tons of essential goods transported to the country.
These include health medicines, baby milk, fresh foods such as meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, medical equipment, and other essential food products.
In a statement on Thursday, March 12, Qatar Airways said it has been providing more than 200 tons per day of vital imports to Doha by operating flights from key global markets, including Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, India, Pakistan, and other international markets.
It added that, given the continued closure of Qatar’s airspace since February 28, it continues to support the country by ensuring the uninterrupted flow of vital imports. The airline noted that, after obtaining temporary approval from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority for the partial resumption of air traffic through limited and safe air routes, it has been operating cargo flights along these routes, thereby supporting suppliers, traders, and companies by maintaining the flow of essential goods to the country.
Qatar Airways has repurposed part of its fleet of 30 Boeing 777 freighters to ensure the efficient delivery of vital goods to Qatar despite current operational challenges. The safe and rapid transport of essential commodities has been prioritized to maintain supplies for citizens and residents.
The company said it will continue to closely monitor the evolving situation and adjust its services and shipping capacity as needed, reaffirming its commitment to supporting the State of Qatar.
