Qatar Airways to Increase Flights to Zurich

Qatar Airways is to expand its operations in Switzerland by adding an extra flight on the Doha-Zurich route from 25 October 2009.

The addition of a Saturday departure out of Zurich promises to be a popular flight among Swiss holidaymakers heading to foreign leisure destinations.

The Doha-Zurich route is operated with a state-of-the-art Airbus A330, in a two-class cabin configuration and features 24 seats in Business Class and 236 Economy Class seats.

Passengers looking to travel to Zurich will have more choice with the additional frequency adding further convenience and flexibility to their travel plans. Although the route is strongly frequented by business travellers, Zurich is also famous among leisure travellers visiting the beautifully located city close to the Swiss Alps and Lake Zurich.

The Zurich upgrade follows recent announcements that the airline’s Doha–Paris service will operate twice daily from October. Additional flights to Madrid, Athens and Stockholm will see a near 40% increase in frequency across the four cities later this year.

Qatar Airways also operates five-flights-a-week to Geneva, its second Swiss destination, launched in June 2007.
