Qatar Cargo adds second Mexican destination to transpac service
As of 6 January, Guadalajara airport (GDL) became a new destination on Qatar Airways' high demand transpacific freighter route. The twice-weekly B777F service flies directly from Macau to Los Angeles, then onward to Mexico City, before arriving in Guadalajara. The aircraft then departs for Doha via Liege.
Guadalajara is the capital and largest city in the Mexican state Jalisco. Major exports on the flights departing the country's third-largest economy and industrial infrastructure consist of perishables and general cargo, while general cargo will form the majority of imports.
"The launch of this freighter service not only provides a consistent and reliable service, but also contributes to economic and trade growth in Mexico," said Guillaume Halleux, Qatar Airways' chief officer cargo. (ah)
