Qatar Airways Cargo announced changes to its 2026 winter network on October 22, covering Copenhagen, Warsaw, New York and Dallas Fort Worth. The cargo carrier said it would use new or resumed Boeing 777 freighter services on some links and belly-hold space on passenger flights to supplement capacity elsewhere. The release sets out scheduled services and the carrier’s capacity calculations; it does not report realised freight volumes or load factors.

A weekly Boeing 777 freighter service to Copenhagen is scheduled to begin on October 25, operating Doha-Budapest-Copenhagen-Doha. The company stated that the flight would provide 100 tonnes of dedicated export capacity a week. It said the freighter would complement 10 weekly Qatar Airways Boeing 787 passenger services between Doha and Copenhagen, which provide more than 100 tonnes of belly-hold capacity in each direction per week. The stated plan therefore draws on two distinct sources of cargo space: freighter main deck and passenger aircraft holds.

The Warsaw change has two components. The carrier said it would relaunch freighter service to the city and add a weekly direct Warsaw-Chicago cargo connection from October 26. The Boeing 777 service is planned to operate Doha-Warsaw-Chicago-Brussels-Doha. Qatar Airways Cargo put total cargo capacity to and from Poland at more than 435 tonnes each way per week, including twice-weekly Katowice freighters and 10 weekly wide-body passenger flights to Warsaw. The 435-tonne figure is thus not the capacity of the new Warsaw-Chicago flight alone.

In the United States, the carrier plans a weekly Boeing 777 freighter from November 1 on a Doha-Liège-New York JFK-Atlanta-Liège-Doha routing. The release said the flight would supplement 14 weekly passenger belly-hold services to and from New York, taking total weekly capacity above 226 tonnes each way. For Dallas Fort Worth, it said two weekly Boeing 777 freighters had recently been introduced as of the announcement. The company stated 200 tonnes of main-deck capacity into Dallas and 100 tonnes outbound; together with passenger flights, it put total weekly capacity above 250 tonnes into Dallas and above 150 tonnes out.

These figures describe the carrier’s stated weekly scheduled capacity. Qatar Airways Cargo did not publish actual tonnage carried, load factors, route-level demand or revenue. The release also describes the airline’s wider network as more than 160 passenger destinations and over 60 freighter destinations; those network totals do not measure the four route changes’ performance. Pharmaceuticals and healthcare, aerospace, technology and energy, perishables, high-value shipments and general industrial cargo were listed as target cargo types, without allocation figures by sector.

The announcement sets out a plan to add links between northern and central Europe and North America, with Doha as the connection point to the wider network. The stated start dates are October 25 for Copenhagen, October 26 for Warsaw-Chicago and November 1 for New York. They are scheduled dates rather than confirmation that each operation has begun. The commercial effect will depend on the services entering the timetable and customers using the offered capacity.
