Continuing with its aggressive expansion plans, Qatar Airways yesterday announced the launch of three new routes out of Doha this year.
Qatar Airways, the flag airline of Qatar, will roll out flights from its hub at Doha airport to Uganda, Azerbaijan and Georgia. The carrier will launch daily non-stop flights to Entebbe, Uganda’s second largest city from November 2. Four weeks later, the airline will start daily non-stop flights to Baku, Azerbaijan continuing onto Tbilisi, Georgia.
The new routes will be served by the carrier’s Airbus A320. Qatar Airways will be offering tickets for 12 business class seats. While, for those looking for economy class cheap tickets on these flights, 132 economy class seats will be available.
The announcement was made by Qatar Airways’ Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker at the opening day of the Arabian Travel Market, one of the Middle East’s premier travel trade shows. At the press conference of the travel show, Al Baker observed that Uganda, Azerbaijan and Georgia are massively underserved by the global airlines.
“But there is clearly demand and huge potential and, as a network global carrier, we are able to fulfil the needs of the travelling public from these three countries and for those wanting to travel there from markets we serve around the world,” Qatar Airways’ website quoted Al Baker as stating.
“Qatar Airways already has a successful operation to the Russian capital Moscow. Expanding our presence deeper into Central Asia has been a focus of ours for some time so it is with extreme delight to be able to announce we will soon have new routes to add in this part of the world.
“And we are pleased to be reinforcing our presence in Africa, four years after our last move there when we launched flights to Tanzania’s capital city of Dar es Salaam. Adding Entebbe provides us with another foothold deeper into the African continent, where we already serve 15 destinations. We are confident this route start-up will be as successful as the others being planned,” he further added.
Qatar Airways is one of the very few airlines that enjoy 5-star ratings by Skytrax, so one can be well assured of the quality of on-board services and amenities offered by the airline. The airline may not be the cheapest of the lot but budget travellers who wish to enjoy the very best of on-board luxuries can book well in advance to grab cheap tickets on flights.
Qatar Airways’ Aggressive Expansion
Qatar Airways has been on a kind of expansion roll for some time now. The airline launched flights to Bucharest, Budapest and Brussels in January, to Germany’s Stuttgart in March and to Syria’s Aleppo in April.
The carrier also awaits the start of operations to Shiraz, Venice and Montreal in June; Kolkata in July; Sofia in September and Oslo in October.
