Qatar expands again

Myanmar and Iraq are among the highlights of new routes announcement by Qatar Airways, emphasising Doha as the hub to and from Europe.

Scheduled flights to Iraq will begin on 23 May with Erbil in the north, followed two weeks later by services to Baghdad on 7 June.  Each route will be served with four-flights-a-week non-stop from Doha.
 
Effective 25 July, the airline will launch flights to Kilimanjaro, its second gateway in Tanzania.  The daily services operate via Nairobi.

Beginning 15 August, Qatar Airways introduces its third African destination of 2012 with the introduction of services to Mombasa.  Each of the daily flights will operate via the Tanzanian capital Dar es Salaam.  In March, Qatar Airways began flights to Rwanda’s capital city of Kigali, the carrier‘s first African route of the year.
 
And starting 3 October, Qatar Airways resumes operations to Myanmar following a four-year absence on the route, linking Doha with the capital Yangon.  With political reform taking place in Myanmar at a rapid pace, interest in the South East Asian country has gathered momentum from both a business and tourism perspective.  Perth begins 3 July, three times per week and goes daily in December.  The airline already flies to Perth, also three times per week. www.qatarairways.com
