About Qatar Airways
Qatar Airways Cargo is the freight arm of Qatar Airways, the state-owned flag carrier of Qatar, which was established in 1993 and began operations in January 1994. The airline uses the IATA code QR and the ICAO code QTR, with the callsign QATARI. It is headquartered in Doha and has been wholly state-owned since 2013, the same year it joined the oneworld alliance. The cargo division grew alongside the airline's rapid expansion into one of the largest long-haul networks in the Middle East, and now ranks among the top cargo carriers worldwide by tonnage moved.
By the mid-2020s Qatar Airways Cargo ranked as the world's second-largest cargo airline by cargo tonne-kilometers, behind FedEx, recording roughly 15 billion CTK in 2024 and moving over 1.5 million tonnes of freight in its 2024/25 fiscal year. The carrier describes itself as the largest international cargo airline by capacity. Its network combines dedicated freighter services to more than 60 destinations with belly-hold capacity across a passenger fleet of around 230 aircraft, positioning Doha as an intercontinental transshipment point linking Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
The freighter fleet was consolidated into a single type, the Boeing 777F, numbering roughly 28 to 30 aircraft by 2024. The carrier retired its Boeing 747-8F and 747-400F, Airbus A330-200F, and A310F to simplify operations around one of the youngest widebody freighter fleets in the sector. Future capacity is anchored by an order for 34 Boeing 777-8F freighters plus options, and Mammoth Freighters 777-200LRMF passenger-to-freighter conversions. Operations center on the dedicated cargo terminal at Hamad International Airport (DOH), with specialisations in pharmaceuticals, live animals, perishables, and outsize project cargo.

Why isn't my Qatar Airways air cargo updating?
Qatar Airways tracking reflects what the carrier and flight feeds have reported, so there is often a lag between a real-world move and the update. Panvaya refreshes on a regular cycle; a shipment that looks stuck usually just means the next milestone (such as uplift or arrival) hasn't been filed yet.
How accurate is the ETA for Qatar Airways shipments?
Panvaya combines Qatar Airways's schedule with live flight position and historical performance to predict arrival, and refines the ETA as the journey progresses and conditions change. It is a continuously updated estimate, not a guarantee.
