Qatar Airways has confirmed that it will launch flights to the capital city of the Netherlands, Amsterdam, on 16 June. The Doha-Amsterdam route will operate with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner offering 254 seats configured in two classes, with 22 fully-flat-bed seats in Business Class and 232 in Economy Class. Flying non-stop, the total journey time between Doha and Amsterdam is 6 hours and 35 minutes.

The daily flights will be departing from Doha in the morning, arriving into Amsterdam in the early afternoon, with return flights to Doha departing in the late afternoon. Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said: “Amsterdam has long been on our list of destinations to introduce to our network, and we are delighted to now be adding this dynamic European city to our route map. Qatar Airways looks forward to bringing our five-star service to The Netherlands, and providing travellers with an extensive list of destinations across the Middle East, Africa and the Far East that are easily accessible with a minimal connection time in Doha.” A highly popular tourist destination, the Netherlands counts 10 sites listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
