Qatar Airways Cargo (QAC) has gained recognition in Nepal with an award from the Nepal Freight Forwarders’ Association (NEFFA) for achieving the highest export tonnage (2850 tonnes) out of the country for 2020.
The awards are held every year by the association to honour the top three carriers for their roles in supporting the country’s exports. QAC has held the top spot for more than a decade.
“Nepal is a key market for the airline, and it has been operating flights to its capital city, Kathmandu, since 1997. The airline’s export market share in 2020 was 45% of the total exports from Nepal, while imports constituted 44%,” a QAC statement read.
The airline is operating double daily flights to and from Kathmandu for the month of August, offering more than 150 tonnes of cargo capacity each week, each way. Through its hub in Doha, it connects Nepal with important export destinations in the USA, Europe, Australia and Asia.
