High performing QA Cargo gets recognition from Brussels Airport

Qatar Airways Cargo, the world’s leading international air cargo carrier, has won ‘Cargo Airline Performance Award 2021’ at the 15th Brussels Airport Aviation Awards. The airline has won this award for the third consecutive year.

“With these awards Brussels Airport wants to honour those airlines and partners who in 2021 have excelled in the areas of punctuality and performance, network development, and safety and environment,” said Brussels Airport on its website.

The Performance and Punctuality Awards are presented to passenger and cargo airlines that excel in punctuality and performance. Punctuality is the best on-time performance, that is with an arrival or departure within 15 minutes of the scheduled time. The performance for cargo is calculated using the number of weekly flights, number of destinations, total quantity of cargo flown, cargo per flight and the growth in cargo tonnage.

“The airline that contributed most last year to the development of Brucargo was Qatar Airways Cargo and this for the third year in a row,” said Brussels Airport.

The airline currently operates 11 scheduled flights a week between Brussels and Doha. Other nominees were Ethiopian Airlines Cargo, Sichuan Airlines and Singapore Airlines Cargo. Brussels Airport has been organising the Aviation Awards to award airlines and partners for an exceptional performance since October 2007.

The solid network and consistent high-level service earned Qatar Airways Cargo three awards last year including, Cargo Operator of the Year at the ATW Airline Awards, and Cargo Airline of the Year as well as Air Cargo Industry Achievement Award at Air Cargo Week’s World Air Cargo Awards.

Qatar Airways Cargo serves a global network of more than 65 freighter destinations and over 150 passenger destinations utilising freighters, belly-hold passenger flights and mini freighters.

The airline’s freighter fleet includes two Boeing 747-8 freighters, two Boeing 747-4 freighters, 26 Boeing 777 freighters, two Airbus A330 mini freighters and one Airbus A310 freighter.
