Qatar Airways adds 12 new destinations
Qatar
Airways will add 12 new destinations in 2018 in addition to eight destinations for 2017 that were announced in late 2016. These cities are yet to be announced, but are characterised by “thinner markets with a leisure focus”. Qatar is growing its London and Bangkok ‘catchment areas’ with service to Cardiff and U-tapao. Qatar Airways serves the highest number of destinations of the three Gulf airlines, about three quarters of these destinations flown by narrowbody aircraft and smaller widebodies. In a revolutionary move, Qatar Airways are also proposing services on regional routes in India’s north-eastern region.
