The new service to Malé Velana International Airport, is set to launch this Sunday, 28 October, and is part of the award-winning airline’s continued expansion in Asia, following its historic move last year to be the first airline to fly the state-of-the-art A350 aircraft to the Maldives.
Located in the Indian Ocean, and just a five-hour flight from Doha, the picturesque islands are renowned for their immaculate white sandy beaches, magnificent diving spots and well-preserved natural wonders, making it one of the world’s most exotic and tranquil leisure destinations.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker, said they are delighted to announce the addition of a third daily flight between Doha and the Maldives, which he said is among their most popular holiday destinations.
We believe that a luxurious travel experience isn’t just about the destination, but about the whole journey itself. The additional daily frequency between Doha and the Maldives showcases our commitment to expand our global route network, in order to offer our passengers enhanced choice and flexibility when planning a holiday getaway.
We are pleased that we can continue in our efforts to provide our passengers with even more opportunity to experience this captivating destination.’
Qatar Airways currently operates 14 flights per week from Doha to Maldives. The additional service will be operated by both the A330-300 and A320-200 aircraft, and will take the number of weekly flights to 21.
The third daily flight to Maldives will also provide enhanced connectivity to destinations such as London, Berlin, Paris, Milan, Rome, Frankfurt, Zurich, Moscow, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Nairobi via the airline’s five-star hub, Hamad International Airport.
