Qatar Airways Cargo: fourth Pharma Express freighter operating from Basel

Qatar Airways Cargo will commence its fourth Pharma Express freighter service operating from Basel, effective 8 May. The additional freighter for pharmaceuticals and healthcare products increases the total service to 10 flights each week. The cargo carrier recently increased its Pharma Express flights from both Basel and Brussels in February this year.

Ulrich Ogiermann (Chief Officer Cargo): "There is a growing demand worldwide for the safe and reliable transportation of pharmaceuticals. By increasing capacity from Basel, the hub of the Swiss pharmaceutical industry, we are able to provide increased uplift to our customers as well as a seamless cool-chain for pharmaceutical exports out of Basel through our GDP-compliant hub in Doha. Our global customers benefit from additional capacity to import medicines and healthcare products from this major pharmaceutical hub to markets where they are required swiftly, via Qatar Airways scheduled or charter services.”
