WORLDWIDE Flight Services (WFS) has landed a contract to provide cargo handling for Qatar Airways Cargo's new twice-weekly Being 777 freighter services to Pittsburgh.
The freighter adds 200 tonnes of cargo capacity per week to the US state, adding to the 100 tonnes of weekly bellyhold cargo capacity on the airline's daily Airbus A350 passenger flights to Philadelphia.
The new route will connect Pittsburgh with European markets via a stop in Qatar Airways' European hub in Luxembourg and onward destinations from its home base in Doha, reported London's Air Cargo News.
Said WFS chief commercial officer Barry Nassberg: "We are delighted to be continuing to grow our international services for Qatar Airways and to be awarded this contract to support its latest new freighter route to and from the US."
The new flight makes Qatar Airways the first international airline to commence a scheduled freighter service to the Pennsylvanian hub, and it marks the Middle Eastern airline's fifth new freighter destination to the Americas starting this year.
