PITTSBURGH — Qatar Airways Cargo, along with its freight forwarding partners, has resumed flights to Pittsburgh International Airport effective Dec. 4, according to the airport’s Blue Sky News publication. The airline previously operated out of PIT twice-weekly for two years until December 2019 after international trade tensions lowered cargo demand.
“We are glad to return to Pittsburgh and support our partners with their cargo requirements,” Guillaume Halleux, Qatar Airways chief officer cargo, said on the Blue Sky News website. “The business community, freight forwarders and shippers in Pennsylvania also benefit from direct access to our global network via Doha. The mini freighters and passenger freighters introduced during the pandemic demonstrate our agility and support in ensuring the continuity of global trade.”
The once-weekly flight will last through the next six months and marks the latest cargo deal to land at the airport following the September announcement of the twice-weekly Cathay Pacific Airways temporary cargo flights to PIT.
