Qatar Airways has announced that it will increase the airline's frequencies to Germany and other European destinations this year, as it prepares to start a new non-stop service to Zurich in July.
Qatar Airways' Chief Executive Officer Al-Baker announced at the ITB Berlin travel exhibition that the airline has recently increased combined frequencies to Frankfurt and Munich by four flights a week, to meet rising demand for Qatar Airways' services from the German market.
"From July 8 we will also be starting our non-stop service to Zurich. This will be a four-times-a-week service that will use our long range A319, and give people in Switzerland easy access to the rest of our network," said Al-Baker.
Qatar Airways will take delivery of 13 new aircraft during 2004, including four new A330s, two A320s, and two A321s. In addition there will be a delivery of four leased A330s, bringing the fleet of A330s up to a total of thirteen Airbus A330s by the end of 2004. The airline will also be taking delivery of an additional aircraft for the Amiri VIP fleet. — (menareport.com)
