Qatar Airways Cargo’s Boeing 747F, registration A7-BGB, landed for the last time in commercial cargo service for QR Cargo

The Boeing 747F registered A7-BGB of Qatar Airways Cargo made its final landing in commercial cargo duty for QR Cargo as the carrier intensifies its emphasis on environmentally friendly aviation. On Friday, March 1, around 15:00 local time, Flight QR8807, which was travelling from Barcelona, landed in Doha. On September 26, 2017, A7-BGB was added to the fleet of Qatar Airways Cargo. The two recognisable freighters have flown over 9,000 times in the last seven years, logging over 66,000 block hours and moving around 800,000 tonnes in total. 

With 1,165 flights, Incheon ranked as the 747 aircraft's most frequented destination throughout its operation. Guangzhou, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt were also among the top ten locations the cargo planes flew to. The Boeing 747 freighters operated by Qatar Airways Cargo provide dependable and secure transportation for several international clients, carrying anything from racing automobiles (30 seats on a 747F) to thoroughbred race horses (up to 90 horses may be transported in a single flight). It was also a mainstay of the epidemic, transporting personal protective equipment (PPE) and other medical supplies throughout the globe at a period when most aircraft were grounded.
