Qatar Airways will boost services to Thailand with the introduction of non-stop flights to Phuket, effective October 26th, 2014.
The airline currently serves the Doha – Phuket route daily via a linked service through the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur.
Qatar Airways chief executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “The start of non-stop services from Doha to Phuket offers travellers from around the world access to the popular tourist destination in a reduced time, from across our expanding global network.
“With the upcoming winter holidays, this is a great opportunity for travellers from the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas to plan their break with a beach vacation to Phuket.
“Visitor numbers to Phuket are on the rise and Qatar Airways will look to take advantage of the non-stop connections to the city in the days to come,” he said.
