With the Russian World Cup now behind us, its Qatar’s 2022 hosting of the tournament that fans are looking to (because, of course, that’s when it’s coming home…!)
Good timing then for Qatar Airways to announce that it will be increasing the frequency of its flights between Manchester and Doha to three times daily, from May 2019.
The middle eastern airline currently operates 16 flights per week between the two cities – twice daily on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays with triple daily flights already operating on Mondays and Saturdays.
From September 18th 2018 they will add a third daily flight on Tuesdays and Thursdays – and from 22nd May 2019: Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays will gain the additional frequencies.
Qatar Airways celebrated its 15th anniversary of operating direct flights from the Manchester in April this year.
Qatar Airways acting senior vice president for Europe, Mr Ishfaq Jalal said: “Qatar Airways enjoys a special relationship with Manchester as demonstrated by the ever-increasing amount of tourist and business traffic passing between our countries and through Doha to our global network.
“We remain committed to providing the levels of service quality and in-flight experience that has increased the demand for our airline.”
The flights from Manchester will be operated using a mix of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350.
