Qatar Airways Cargo will recommence belly capacity services to Penang, Malaysia from February 2023. The Cargo carrier will operate an A330 passenger freighter to Penang via Qatar Airways’ passenger flights to Phuket, four times a week.
Guillaume Halleux, chief officer cargo at Qatar Airways Cargo said: “Our network planning team saw a perfect opportunity in the passenger A330 flight’s ground-time in Phuket, and have worked hard to establish a well-scheduled, interim passenger-freighter connection to Penang and back to maximize the cargo capacity into and out of Malaysia’s second-busiest cargo airport. This Next Generation-style multi-modal strategy sees Qatar Airways’ Doha-Phuket passenger connection becoming a Phuket-Penang-Phuket passenger-freighter for four days of the week, before returning to Doha again as a passenger service with lower deck cargo.”
This flight will add more than 70 tonnes of available capacity each week, complementing the existing seven weekly belly-hold flights to Kuala Lumpur, providing customers with over 200 tonnes of cargo capacity from Malaysia.
