Qatar Airways is eyeing the oversized cargo market. It has wet-leased a 747-400BDSF – non-liveried and all white – from myCargo Airlines, its first aircraft of the type.

Here, Cargo Facts explains why a carrier with cash is wet-leasing – and it has added some videos.

And on 9th December 2015, flights from Doha to Dhaka, Bangladesh, will be increased from 10 to 14 weekly, increasing capacity by 40%.
