## Description

Qatar Airways Cargo, widely ranked as the world's largest air cargo carrier with about twelve percent of the global market, channels its entire network through Hamad International Airport (DOH). The airport moved roughly 2.59 million tonnes of freight in 2025, keeping Doha among the world's top three for international cargo, and served around 54.3 million passengers. Since mid-March 2026 operations have run on a restricted basis after Qatari airspace was temporarily closed amid regional Gulf tensions, a disruption forwarders relying on Doha transfers have had to route around. The 55,000-square-metre cargo terminal offers eleven wide-body freighter stands and 1.4 million tonnes of annual capacity, with a planned second terminal set to lift throughput toward 3.2 million tonnes. Climate-controlled halls handle GDP-certified pharmaceuticals, perishables and live animals, including regular horse charters, while Qatar Airways Cargo's Quick Ramp Transfer delivers some of the fastest tail-to-tail connections of any major airport. The adjacent Ras Bufontas free zone provides bonded warehousing for re-export under the General Authority of Customs. Hamad Port, Qatar's deep-sea harbour, lies about 30 minutes away by expressway, making sea-air combinations practical, as Qatar runs no freight rail. On the passenger side, the 2025 opening of Concourses D and E expanded the terminal to 845,000 square metres and capacity to more than 65 million travellers.
