Qatar Airways Cargo, the world’s international air cargo carrier, and Cainiao, a global e-commerce logistics leader, have officially launched an expanded strategic partnership to accelerate cross-border e-commerce delivery.
This long-term collaboration significantly strengthens the existing partnership, enhancing global connectivity and addressing the growing demand for fast, reliable international logistics.
The agreement was formalised by Mark Drusch, Chief Officer Cargo at Qatar Airways Cargo and Wan Lin, Chief Executive Officer at Cainiao, during an official ceremony at Cainiao Global Smart Logistics Summit in Hangzhou on 10 September. Sheikh Ali Alwaleed Al- Thani, Chief Executive Officer at Invest Qatar was also present.
Through this strategic alliance, Cainiao will more than double its weekly charter flights on key China–Europe routes, leveraging Qatar Airways Cargo’s world-class operational capabilities and extensive global network.
This will create a broader flight schedule, giving merchants greater flexibility and choice in planning and delivering exports to Europe, while providing stronger support for Chinese businesses expanding internationally.
The long-term collaboration reflects the deep mutual trust and shared vision between Cainiao and Qatar Airways Cargo for the future of global e-commerce. By expanding capacity and enhancing trade flows between China, Europe, and other regions, the partnership will generate substantial economic value while further boosting the efficiency of Sino-European trade.
