Qatar Airways has
launched scheduled flights to Tunis and Algiers. The airline is operating three flights a week non-stop between its operational hub of Doha, capital of the State of Qatar, and the Tunisian capital of Tunis. The flights
continue onto Algiers, the capital of Algeria.
The new routes are operated with an Airbus A319 configured in Business and Economy, as well as an A300, which has a three-class configuration of First, Business and
Economy.
The addition of Tunis and Algiers strengthens Qatar Airways’ presence in the North
African market where it already serves Cairo, Luxor, Khartoum, Tripoli and
Casablanca.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said,
“Major exports out of Algeria are oil and gas, so there is a lot of synergy between Qatar and Algeria. And Tunisia has a thriving tourism industry as well as strong
commercial opportunities which make this route an extremely viable one for Qatar Airways.”
As part of its launch into the two North African cities, Qatar Airways is offering members of its Privilege Club frequent flyer programme double Qmiles for the first full
month of the new flights.
