QATAR Airways Cargo is providing Expo Freight Logistics (EFL) with a dedicated weekly
Boeing 777 freighter service, using QR Charter, to transport finished
garments from Dhaka to New York over a 12-month period.
"Bangladesh has been a very attractive
sourcing market for retailers and a faster supply chain will strengthen
that reputation in the region," said the founder of Sri Lanka's EFL
Hanif Yusoof.
The majority of apparel exports out of Dhaka carried on the freighter
charters consist of sportswear, lingerie, loungewear, bridal wear,
workwear, swimwear and children's clothing.
The airline also offers bellyhold space on three times a day passenger
flights out of Dhaka, offering a combined capacity of 900 tonnes out of
Bangladesh each week for local exports, reported London's Air Cargo
News.
