In less than a year’s time, Qatar Airways officials said that it has plans to provide daily direct services from Doha to Sydney, Australia; the new flight service is set to begin on March 1, 2016, to the third Australian city in the Qatar Airways network, as the Doha-based carrier currently operates daily non-stop flights to Melbourne and Perth, coming to a total of 14 services each week.
“We are delighted to debut our daily Sydney flights next March: the expansion of our Australia services will undoubtedly boost and strengthen the trade and commercial links that exist between Qatar and Australia, setting the stage for even more robust partnership opportunities in the near future,” Qatar Airways Group CEO Akbar Al Baker said. “We look forward to carrying more travelers to and from Australia across our extensive global network and providing them with another world-class experience both on board and on the ground at the state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport in Doha.”
According to Baker, Australia, with its stunning landscape of idyllic beaches and famous interior, along with its rich history and culture, draws millions of visitors each year. The most populous city of Sydney, with its ocean-side location, sandy beaches, and iconic attractions like the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge is one of Australia’s and the world’s top business and tourist destinations, and Sydney will undoubtedly be a popular addition to Qatar Airways’ rapidly growing network.
