Qatar Airways Cargo has added another freighter service to its network with the launch of non-stop flights between the airline's operational hub of Doha and Sialkot in north east Pakistan.
The new service, will operate every Monday using an Airbus A300-600 freighter and will capitalise on the city's strong reputation for exporting high quality medical, sporting and leather goods.
Additionally, Sialkot, which is in Pakistan's Punjab province and is one of the country's most populated cities, is also famous for producing and exporting textiles due to its close proximity to Kashmir.
With such a high volume of products being exported from the city, Qatar Airways Cargo - the freighter arm of leading five-star airline Qatar Airways - saw the huge potential in operating a direct cargo service into Sialkot District, of which Sialkot is the capital city.
The addition of this new route takes the freighter network of Qatar Airways Cargo up to 20 destinations worldwide, including Lahore and Karachi in Pakistan. Other destinations from Doha are Algiers, Amsterdam, Bahrain, Chennai, Colombo, Dhaka, Dubai, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Khartoum, Luxembourg, Milan, Nairobi, Sanaa, Tunis and Zaragoza.
