Qatar Airways will move cargo operations back to Doha’s former airport in the second quarter of 2026. The carrier plans to restart freight flights and ground handling from the older Doha facility, shifting some cargo activity away from Hamad International beginning in 2Q26.

Briefing
Scheduled for 2Q26 — the timing is the central operational fact that will drive cargo capacity, slot planning and ground‑handling arrangements at Doha.
This move sits alongside recent cargo capacity developments, including Qatar Airways Cargo’s Mammoth‑converted 777 freighters being delayed to January due to FAA certification pauses (see the carrier’s freighter certification update: https://hype.aero/?story=6c9b878a-50f7-425f-886a-33dc95b7a547).
It also adds context to Doha’s broader network capacity changes after Qatar’s announced winter 2025–26 frequency increases, which affect demand and routing for freight flows: https://hype.aero/?story=efe47870-7b3c-4103-8781-33708cda668e.
