One of the advantages Qatar Airways enjoys is having the flexibility of different aircraft types in our fleet, which gives us a massive competitive edge, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer Akbar al Baker has said.
Baker made the remarks during a media roundtable with global media to discuss the airline’s rapid expansion plans during Qatar’s annual Doha Forum conference in Doha on Sunday.
The award-winning airline has launched 23 destinations since the start of the blockade and continues with its significant programme of expansion of new routes to further connect passengers around the globe.
He said, “We have identified many routes that our competitors have not yet considered, and we look forward to continuing our rapid expansion as we start the New Near. A key indicator of the airline’s sustainability and resilience is the addition of 23 new destinations over the past 18 months, something which has never been achieved by any other airline.
“Just this month alone, Qatar Airways has launched flights to Mombasa, Kenya and Gothenburg Sweden, with services to Da Nang, Vietnam to begin on December 19, 2018. New routes to both Isfahan in Iran and and Valletta in Malta have already been announced for 2019. This is further testament to our growth and we will continue to announce further new and exciting destinations in 2019.”
Baker also addressed the airline’s proven track record of creating a large hub in the midst of tough competition and emphasised the potential the airline sees in launching new routes to under-served countries in Africa and Asia to connect passengers around the world via the airline’s hub, HIA.
