Qatar Airways steps up capacity to Abu Dhabi

The new 0755 early morning departure from Abu Dhabi provides business and leisure passengers with a wave of suitable connections in Doha to Qatar Airways' extensive network of services covering the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Indian subcontinent and the Far East.

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said the additional frequency strengthened its position as an airline of choice, giving passengers greater flexibility.

"Abu Dhabi is a key neighbouring market for Qatar Airways with plenty of passengers travelling from the Emirate to Doha to do business in Qatar or to catch onward connections to rest of the world," he said.

"We are extremely pleased to be providing passengers with additional travel benefits and look forward to increasing capacity even further as and when demand permits and extra aircraft capacity is available."

The additional Abu Dhabi frequency is Qatar Airways' last arriving flight into Abu Dhabi from Doha at 0140 each day and is the first morning departure from the Emirate to the Qatari capital at 0755.

In addition to Abu Dhabi, Qatar Airways operates seven flights a day between Doha and Dubai in the UAE.

Qatar Airways operates a fleet of 40 modern all-Airbus aircraft to 62 destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Indian subcontinent and Far East from its operational hub of Doha, capital of the State of Qatar.

The airline added Tunis and Algiers to its route network on May 2, with services to the Greek capital Athens due to start on June 15.
