Qatar Airways is to increase the frequency of flights to the popular cities of Tehran, Islamabad and Muscat.
The additional flights, which include four for Tehran, two for Islamabad and four for Muscat per week, will commence 1, 3 and 16 September 2014 respectively.
Tehran, which is currently served with 14 flights a week, will see an increase to 18 flights weekly when it adds four more flights commencing 1 September. The capital city of Iran has become increasingly popular with tourists looking to discover the beautiful and rich history of one of the world’s most ancient civilizations.
Additionally, the airline which now flies to Islamabad once-a-day will see two more flights added to the schedule bringing the number of weekly flights up from seven to nine frequencies. This increase follows rapidly on from last year when Qatar Airways increased frequencies to Islamabad from four-flights-a-week to daily flights.
With 31 weekly flights already servicing the Doha-Muscat route, the increase in passenger demand has led the airline to add an additional four flights, bringing the total number of flights up to 35 per week. With 5 flights daily to Muscat, Qatar Airways is able to cater to the many local residents who choose to visit the desert oasis for a short break. A popular destination, known for its stunning beaches, scuba diving and snorkeling, Oman welcomes scores of visitors from all over the world throughout the year.
“People from all over the world are becoming more and more interested in discovering this part of the world. With such rich histories and stunning, undiscovered landscapes, these destinations are hidden gems that are slowly coming into their own,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker.
“We have witnessed a great increase in passenger demand for both local passengers in each market, as well as international passengers looking to travel to each of these cities, and passengers on these flights can look forward to an enhanced travel experience with Qatar Airways’ five-star service as we welcome them onboard.”
