Qatar Airways Cargo announced the launch of two new Pharma Express routes from India to Doha, Qatar, providing a dedicated service to the pharmaceutical industry. These additional routes to the airline’s network have been added following the success of the Brussels-Basel-Doha Pharma Express route launched in January 2015.
The first new Pharma Express route will commence on 10 November and will operate from Mumbai via Ahmedabad, India to Doha on Tuesdays and Fridays. The second new Pharma Express route will commence on 11 November and will operate from Hyderabad, India to Doha on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Both flights will offer connectivity across Qatar Airways’ global network.
Ulrich Ogiermann, Qatar Airways Chief Officer Cargo said, “We are delighted to launch two new pharma express routes from India,” adding, “To date, we are the only airline offering this dedicated service to the pharmaceutical industry. The Pharma Express flights will cater to the growing pharmaceutical industry in the region. Air cargo standards for handling time and temperature-sensitive commodities such as pharmaceuticals are becoming more stringent, with stricter guidelines on temperature control. Our thorough understanding of the intricacies involved in safeguarding the integrity of these commodities ensures that Qatar Airways Cargo continues to provide meticulous and uncompromised service standards in line with Good Distribution Practice requirements.”
