Nice direct from The Gulf

Qatar Airways has continued its European expansion drive with Nice becoming the first of five route launches across the Continent over the next few months.

Complementing double daily flights between the airline’s Doha hub and the French capital Paris, the new Doha – Nice operations strengthen the carrier’s presence in France.

Flights on the Doha – Nice operate via Milan with an Airbus A330-200 in a two-class configuration.  Featuring 24 seats in Business Class and up to 248 seats in Economy, the aircraft offers passengers seatback TV screens giving them the opportunity to watch programmes at the time of their choice.  Regardless of class of travel, passengers can enjoy the next generation interactive onboard entertainment system with a choice of more than 900 audio and video on demand options.

Once into 2011 four new European routes will be introduced.  Bucharest (17 January), Brussels (31 January) and Stuttgart (6 March).  On 6 April, Qatar Airways introduces its 100th destination – the Syrian city of Aleppo. www.qatarairways.com
