Qatar Airways to Increase Flights to Bangkok and Vietnam

Qatar Airways is to launch a third daily flight to Bangkok, effective 1 November 2010.

The increase in capacity comes just three weeks after the airline launches scheduled flights to the popular Thai resort of Phuket.

The Bangkok service will facilitate increasing demand from many parts of the world, particularly European and North and South American customers for travel to Thailand.

The additional Bangkok service will continue to Vietnam with four of the flights heading onwards to the capital Hanoi and three onto Ho Chi Minh City.

Passengers originating in Thailand or Vietnam can also purchase tickets to fly between Bangkok and both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City on Qatar Airways.

Beginning 12 October 2010 , Qatar Airways introduces six-flights-a-week to Phuket via Kuala Lumpur. With the Bangkok flights, the airline’s Thai operations will step up from 21 to 27 flights a week across two destinations.

By 2013, Qatar Airways plans to serve 120 key business and leisure destinations worldwide with a modern fleet of 120 aircraft. Today, the airline’s fleet stands at 88 aircraft, flying to 92 destinations across Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North and South America.
