Airlines
Qatar Airways Cargo has launched AEROSPACE to meet AOG needs and to serve the wider aerospace, defence and space industries.

The new product was launched following customer feedback to offer manufacturers, freight forwarders and partners working with airlines, as well as the defence and space industries with a dedicated time-critical solution.

AEROSPACE handles traditional aircraft on ground (AOG) commodities such as engines and spare parts, as well as other critical components including avionics, electric propulsion equipment, airframe interiors, landing gears and more.

Qatar Airways Cargo is the only airline to introduce bespoke 20-foot and 40-foot shock absorbing engine transport dollies at its Doha hub, capable of carrying up to 20 tonnes and providing critical aerospace products with smooth ground operations and protection.

The product is available across Qatar Airways Cargo’s entire network and comes with the highest load priority, a dedicated handling team and Control Tower support for rapid processing and seamless transportation of AOG shipments.

Dedicated load teams will respond to customer enquiries about loading aerospace equipment within 45 minutes.

Mark Drusch, Chief Officer Cargo of Qatar Airways Cargo, says, “With our AEROSPACE product, we will be the number one logistics expert for every type of aerospace product - whether it is for commercial aviation, defence, even space technologies.”
