Qatar Airways Cargo has announced the launch of its first scheduled freighter services from Helsinki, Finland, effective 2 September 2026.
Operating once weekly with a Boeing 777 freighter on the Doha – Budapest – Helsinki – Doha route, the new service will provide 100 tonnes of export cargo capacity out of Helsinki each week. Complementing the airline's existing 7 weekly passenger services on the Doha-Helsinki-Doha route, the dedicated freighter will increase total weekly cargo capacity from Helsinki to more than 170 tonnes, while the widebody belly-hold flights offer over 70 tonnes weekly, each way.
The launch of Qatar Airways Cargo’s first scheduled freighter service to Helsinki, alongside the reinstatement of Qatar Airways passenger frequencies provides customers in Finland greater access to the airline’s extensive network in Europe, Middle East, Africa, India, Asia and Australia through its state-of-the-art hub in Doha.
Helsinki is a strategic gateway for high-value and specialised cargo, connecting Finnish and Nordic businesses to global supply chains. Key export commodities from Finland include high-tech products, electronics, industrial machinery and spare parts, pharmaceuticals, healthcare products, perishables and e-commerce shipments.
