Qatar Cargo has launched a new product catering for the transport vehicles.

The carrier’s new Drive product will cater for various types of vehicle including regular cars, vintage cars, premium or luxury models, new cars and sports cars

The service will be available on both the airline’s passenger and all-cargo flights to more than 160 bellyhold and 70 freighter destinations. The Drive product also offers full or part-charters.

Miguel Rodriguez Moreno, head of cargo products, said: “With this product, we combine technical proficiency, experienced teams and charter solutions to offer a tailored experience for the transportation of automobiles.

“Our rigorous and meticulously designed training ensures that our dedicated staff follow handling protocols diligently at every stage of the journey.”

The airline has been transporting cars for several years. In 2022, Qatar Airways Cargo transported over 1,400 vehicles.

“Safety is paramount and the teams take extreme caution ensuring all safety measures are followed, and vehicles are tied down and secured properly before being flown on the flight,” the airline added. “The vehicles are monitored throughout the entire journey by the airline’s operational experts.”
