The agreement aims to deliver an enhanced product offering to cargo customers and achieve operational synergies.   In the presence of Qatar Airways’ Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, the MoU agreement was signed by Qatar Airways Cargo’s Chief Officer Cargo, Mr. Mark Drusch, and Japan Airlines Executive Officer, Senior Vice President, Head of Cargo and Mail, Mr. Yuichiro Kito. Qatar Airways Cargo Chief Officer Cargo, Mr. Mark Drusch, said: “This MoU symbolises a commitment to a deeper partnership, aiming to integrate both networks via the hubs in Doha and Tokyo. This will enhance network connectivity and product offerings for customers, linking Japan to Qatar Airways’ extensive network in Europe, the Middle East, the Levant, and Africa, and vice versa. Customers will benefit from improved connectivity and access to a wider range of destinations.” Japan Airlines Executive Officer, Senior Vice President, Head of Cargo and Mail, Mr. Yuichiro Kitof, said: “This agreement further strengthens the long-standing partnership between JAL and Qatar Airways Cargo.   For the first time in 13 years, we have commenced the operation of our own freighters. Through this agreement, JALCARGO will leverage JAL’s passenger flights, freighter network, and the newly expanded Qatar Airways network to deliver customers’ cargo to an even broader range of destinations than ever before.” Qatar Airways Cargo and JALCARGO are committed to streamlining the transfer of cargo between the two carriers, ensuring a more efficient process for customers.   Both parties will enhance their collaboration by optimising their mutual networks and plan to extend their cooperation into various fields. The partnership will be further enhanced next year, when Qatar Airways Cargo will begin freighter services between its hub at Hamad International Airport and Japan Airlines hub at Tokyo Narita airport.   The partnership is expected to generate significant economic value by enhancing trade flows between the regions served by Japan Airlines and those served by Qatar Airways Cargo.

Airline alliances 🤝 form cooperative networks among airline companies to enhance traveler experience and improve inter-airline connections for international travel ✈️. Membership in an airline alliance offers significant advantages, including access to a network of market leaders in aviation 🚀. However, joining an alliance is challenging due to competition and anti-trust regulations ⚖️. There are three major airline alliances globally: Star Alliance ⭐, SkyTeam 🌐, and Oneworld 🌍. While alliance membership offers benefits, only 53 percent of the global aviation market is comprised of airlines that belong to these alliances 📉. This leaves non-aligned airlines with approximately 47 percent of the market 📊. In 2018, Star Alliance members held over 21 percent of the global market share 🌎, generating more than 213 billion U.S. dollars in revenue 💵. #GlobalFreight #AirFreight #Aviation #CargoTransport #AirlineAlliance #Oneworld #StarAlliance #SkyTeam #AirCargo #AviationMarket #FreightTonnes #AviationIndustry #QatarAirways #GlobalTrade #AirlineGrowth #Qatar #AirCargoGrowth #BestAirline #AviationRevenue
