Qatar Airways is launching a four flights-a-week non-stop service to the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou.
From 31 March, Doha-based Qatar Airways will become the first airline from the Gulf to serve Guangzhou. It will operate using an Airbus A330 aircraft in a two-class configuration of up to 24 seats in Business Class and a maximum 248 in Economy.
The airline said the addition of Guangzhou strengthens its China network, where it already flies to Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong with a total of 16 flights a week. Guangzhou takes the airline’s capacity into China up to 20 flights a week. From May 1, Qatar Airways adds a fifth weekly service to Guangzhou.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said Guangzhou would complement the airline’s daily services to Hong Kong.
“China is, and will continue to be, a strategically vital part of Qatar Airways’ expansion plans - and no serious airline can afford to ignore a country with a thriving and buoyant economy,” he said.
