A giant honey colored teddy bear welcomes travellers at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar. A year into a blockade imposed by four Arab states, Qatar, the small country has weathered the storm by drawing from its substantial financial coffers, using its strategic location in the Persian Gulf as the world’s largest producer of liquefied natural gas and forging tight alliances with countries like Turkey and Iran.
  The strong position and foresight of Qatar Airways Cargo, as the world’s third largest international cargo carrier, serving more than 60 freighter destinations worldwide via its Doha hub and delivering freight to more than 150 destinations globally with more than 200 aircraft has also helped in this endeavor.
  The airline said that it plans to add five- weekly flights to Gothenburg, Sweden commencing December 12, the airline’s second Swedish gateway after Stockholm.
  The Qatar Airways Cargo fleet includes eight Airbus A330 freighters, 13 Boeing 777 freighters and two Boeing 747-8 freighters.
