## Description

Qatar Airways Cargo, the world's largest air cargo carrier with roughly 12% global market share, anchors operations at Hamad International Airport (DOH/OTHH) in Doha, which handled 2.59 million tonnes of cargo in 2025. The carrier itself transported more than 1.43 million tonnes of chargeable weight during the 2025/26 financial year across its global network. HIA's cargo terminal was originally designed for 1.4 million tonnes annually and has since been substantially expanded to accommodate today's higher throughput. Between April and June 2026, Qatar Airways Cargo temporarily used the nearby Doha International Airport as a technical stop, while HIA remained the carrier's permanent cargo hub. As a freight bridge between Europe, Asia and Africa, Doha benefits from Qatar's free-zone framework for transit goods, though shippers should confirm specific customs treatment for individual commodity categories. The airport connects directly via expressway to Hamad Port, enabling combined sea-air logistics solutions. Within the Gulf region, Dubai (DXB/DWC) and Abu Dhabi (AUH) serve as the main alternative gateways. For general cargo, pharmaceuticals and perishables, Doha's dense long-haul network keeps it a central transshipment point between East and West.
