13 July 2020: Qatar Airways Cargo has undertaken an ambitious project called the 1 Million Kilos campaign. In this, the airline will be transporting humanitarian aid and medical supplies all over the world, free of charge. The project will start this month and will continue till the year end in which 1 million kilos of freight will be given to selected customers around the world to give to the charities of their choice.
“This action was triggered by the Covid-19 crisis. The pandemic is a tragedy for millions of people, and we looked for ways how we, as an airline, could help those in the greatest difficulty. This solution – shipping 1 million kilos of cargo free of charge is a firm commitment for QR Cargo. More than just words, we wanted to act and to adopt a comprehensive approach based on actions for the future,” said Guillaume Halleux, Chief Officer Cargo at Qatar Airways.
This project is a part of ambitious sustainability project called We Qare and built on the four fundamental pillars of sustainability economy, environment, society and culture. We Qare is a series of concrete air cargo actions designed to create a positive impact on the industry and the world.
The history of the airfreight industry must change in line with the new challenges the world is facing. As the leading voice within the cargo market, QR Cargo is pioneering the future, sustainable and socially responsible air cargo industry.
