Qatar Airways Cargo has launched a ramp digitalisation programme aimed at creating a seamless, transparent and paperless ramp environment across its global operations.
The initiative introduces Ramp Offload and Load Supervision (ROLS), a digital tool designed to replace traditional paper-based loading instruction reports with a fully integrated workflow.
The system enhances unit load device (ULD) verification, ensures 100% reconciliation and provides real-time data transmission to Load Control. By reducing paperwork and improving accuracy, ROLS is expected to boost turnaround efficiency and strengthen overall flight handling performance.
Key features of Qatar Airways Cargo’s ramp digitalisation programme include real-time loading confirmations, QR code-based scanning, service level agreement monitoring, tail tipping prevention and enhanced ramp visibility.
“As the world’s leading air cargo carrier, we believe that digital transformation is not just a strategic priority – it is a core mindset guiding how we lead innovation in the Cargo industry,” said Mark Drusch, chief officer cargo.
The programme forms part of the carrier’s broader Digital Cargo Vision, which also includes advancements in e-bookings, paperless shipments and automated warehouse solutions.
