The healthcare business continues to boom for Qatar Cargo, which launched additional Pharma Express flights from Basel and Brussels to the carrier\u2019s hub in Doha. The routes connect to other Pharma Express flights via Doha, linking European Union-based pharma companies with markets in Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad. The three Indian cities generate more than 30,000 tonnes of pharmaceuticals each year and are served by the A330F aircraft, offering up to 68 tonnes of capacity each way.
\nQatar Cargo\u2019s Basel-to-Doha route will fly weekly on Fridays. The Brussels-to-Doha leg will fly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, starting Feb. 15.
