US-based global major aerospace group Boeing marked the advent of the new year with the delivery of three 777 Freighter (777F) aircraft to Qatar Airways Cargo. One of the aircraft concerned was the 200th 777F to be delivered. With this delivery, Qatar’s 777F fleet now numbers 24 aircraft. The airline also operates two Boeing 747-8F cargo aircraft. “With the arrival of these new freighters, we are injecting more capacity in the market which is very much required during the pandemic,” highlighted Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker. “The added capacity will also enable us to support the logistics around the Covid-19 vaccination, which is projected to be one of the greatest logistical challenges for the industry. With our investments in innovation and fleet, we are able to fulfil our customers’ logistical requirements and facilitate the continuity of global trade.”
