Qatar Airways has launched flights between Doha and the Italian city of Pisa.

Pisa is the fourth city in Italy to be served by Qatar Airways, which has been flying to Milan since 2002, to Rome since 2003, and to Venice since 2011. The airline already offers five daily frequencies to Italy: two to Milan and Rome and one to Venice.

The new daily flight to Pisa will increase the airline’s weekly flights from Doha to Italy from 35 to 42.

In the last year, Qatar Airways has strengthened its existing Italian routes and demonstrated its commitment to the Italian market by introducing new, wide-body aircraft generating a 35% increase in passenger capacity.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said, “Pisa is an important addition to our route map, strengthening our ties with the people of Italy by offering them another opportunity to connect with more than 150 business and leisure destinations. We are equally delighted to be giving our loyal passengers from around the globe the chance to visit the beautiful city of Pisa and the surrounding region of Tuscany.”

Qatar Airways will operate the Pisa route daily with Airbus A320 aircraft. The A320 will also provide businesses importing and exporting goods to and from Pisa with 11 tons of belly-hold cargo capacity per week.

President of Tuscany Airports Marco Carrai, said, “Our region continues to open up to the world thanks to the agreement with Qatar Airways and the opening of the new service between Pisa and Doha. This new route gives us the opportunity to enlarge the new network to business and leisure connections throughout Asia and Africa. This is one of the most prestigious milestones in the history of Tuscan Airports, as the benefits for our region will soon be under the eyes of all. This is an achievement that Tuscany Airports can really be proud of.”
