Qatar Airways launches Bengaluru Flights

Qatar Airways has launched scheduled flights to the southern Indian city of Bengaluru (Bangalore). The State capital of Karnataka, Bengaluru, becomes the first of several new route launches being planned by Qatar Airways during 2010.

Scheduled flights are set to be introduced to Copenhagen on 30 March; Ankara on 5 April; Tokyo on 26 April; Barcelona on 7 June and Sydney at a date still to be confirmed, together with a raft of capacity increases on many other routes worldwide.

Formerly known as Bangalore, the launch of daily flights to Bengaluru takes Qatar Airways’ Indian capacity up to 71 services a week spread across 11 key points – Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Trivandrum, Cochin, Kozhikode, Goa and Amritsar.

As part of its promotional efforts, members of Qatar Airways’ Privilege Club frequent flyer programme can earn up to 28,000 bonus QMiles, depending on the country of origin, when they fly on the new Bengaluru route.

On the Doha – Bengaluru route, Qatar Airways is operating an Airbus A320 in a two-class configuration of 12 seats in Business Class and 132 in Economy.
