Doha-based Qatar Airways Cargo has started operating its second freighter service to Delhi, two months after launching its first service to the Indian capital.
The second frequency started on July 22 builds rapidly on the back of the first freighter which arrived at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport on May 4.
"India is a highly important market for Qatar Airways Cargo. We are delighted to start our second freighter service to Delhi, just two months after launching the first freighter on 4 May," said Qatar Airways Chief Officer Cargo Ulrich Ogiermann.
Describing Delhi as an important commercial hub in Asia, Ulrich said the Indian capital had one of the largest and fastest growing retail industries.
"Delhi has one of India's largest and fastest growing retail industries, and on top of that, it is an important commercial capital for Asia," he said.
Qatar Airways Cargo now operates the twice-weekly service between Doha and Delhi, using the Airbus A330 freighter, with freighters departing on Tuesdays and Sundays from Doha.
The airline already operates two daily passenger flights to Delhi.
It strengthened its product portfolio with the launch of two new premium services in January this year that optimise the transportation of time and temperature-sensitive goods, including high-value pharmaceutical products and perishables.
