Qatar Cargo extends with dnata in Brussels

Qatar Airways Cargo has extended its ground handling contract with dnata in Brussels.

The multi-year extension will see dnata continue to deliver cargo handling and road feeder services for the airline from its facility at Brussels Airport (BRU). 

Qatar Airways Cargo currently operates a mix of 15 freighter and passenger flights each week to and from the Belgian capital. In 2021, dnata handled 25% more cargo for the airline at BRU than in the previous year.   

Stef Vanbinst, managing director of dnata Belgium, said: “We are proud to have earned the trust and loyalty of Qatar Airways Cargo with our reliable and safe services. We continue to invest in our operations to consistently provide world-class quality to the airline and its customers.”

Since entering the Belgian market in 2019, the company has more than doubled the size of its cargo centre which now covers an area of 7,000 sq m.

Earlier this month, dnata opened a new facility at Heathrow Airport on behalf of customers Virgin Atlantic Cargo and Delta Cargo.
