Qatar Airways Cargo is committed to helping people in need through its ‘1 Million Kilos’ campaign. From July to the end of December of this year, charities will be able to use the services of Qatar Airways Cargo to transport humanitarian aid and medical supplies all over the world, free of charge, according to a recent press communiqué from the carrier.

This solution – shipping one million kilos of cargo free of charge – is a firm commitment for QR Cargo,” remarked Guillaume Halleux, Chief Officer Cargo, Qatar Airways.
