Qatar Airways Cargo has delivered 720 tonnes of humanitarian aid free of charge over the past five years, supporting Airlink and 42 non-profit partners in reaching more than 15.5 million people across 34 countries.

Marking World Humanitarian Day, Qatar Airways Cargo has renewed its pledge to global relief efforts through its WeQare programme, a sustainability-driven initiative aimed at making a lasting impact across the aviation industry and beyond.

In 2024, Qatar Airways Cargo transported 136 tonnes of vital relief supplies across 12 countries, supporting Airlink and 16 partner NGOs. The pro bono shipments—ranging from medicines and clean water to shelter materials—saved an estimated US$2.19 million in logistics costs, allowing those funds to be redirected toward expanding humanitarian response efforts on the ground.

"WeQare is more than a name—it's a mission," Mark Drusch, chief officer cargo at Qatar Airways Cargo, said."We are committed to helping Airlink and their partners deliver the right aid, to the right place, at the right time. We continue to support charitable, environmental and humanitarian initiatives across the globe, and will always step up to support our partners."

Commenting on the partnership, Stephanie Steege, vice president of Humanitarian Programs at Airlink, noted that the partnership between Qatar Airways Cargo and Airlink is "critical" in swiftly delivering aid to hard-to-reach crises and supporting its health system strengthening programs.

"We are proud of what we have accomplished together. For more than a third of Airlink's 15-year history, Qatar Airways Cargo has made a transformative impact on our programs worldwide. We thank everyone at Qatar Airways Cargo for their years of support and look forward to continuing to bring hope and relief to communities in crisis for years to come."

As well as Airlink, Qatar Airways Cargo continues to support other charitable organisations for humanitarian aid, including UNHCR, UNICEF, and the World Food Programme.

For the financial year 2024 to 2025, Qatar Airways Cargo transported a total of 470,000kg of humanitarian aid to countries afflicted by crisis.
