Qatar
Airways announced
a capacity increase to daily scheduled
services on the Doha – Warsaw route, effective February 1.
The
current four-times-a-week service is scheduled to move to
a daily operation less than two months after the launch of
flights to Poland’s capital city.
The
frequency rise follows a pledge by Qatar
Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar
Al Baker in December to introduce more flights on the Warsaw route
once there was strong passenger demand.
“I
have been pleasantly surprised how well the route has performed since
adding the latest European gateway to our ever-expanding
global network last
month,” he said.
“When
we enter new markets, we do so carefully with limited capacity and
then develop routes with more capacity once we see evidence that
additional flights are warranted. Today’s development is welcome
news for the people of Poland with more choice of flights and
a great international network to choose from, specifically
to Asia, Australia and the Middle East.”
Similarly,
Al Baker explained that passengers from around the world will have
more connectivity into Poland each day
of the week.
“Serving
popular routes with multi-frequency flights is one of our key
strategies. We were confident that the Doha – Warsaw service would
become a highly popular route, but didn’t expect this to happen so
soon,” added Al Baker.
Marking Qatar
Airways’ 32nd destination in Europe, the Doha – Warsaw route was
launched on December 5th with a grand welcome reception at the city’s
Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport.
Warsaw
became the 12th and final new route of the year in the airline’s
expanding global route
map covering Europe,
Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America.
