Qatar Airways Launches Daily Prague Flights

Qatar Airways has launched flights between Doha and Václav Havel Airport Prague in the Czech Republic.

Prague, widely recognised as one of the world’s most beautiful cities, is known for its striking medieval architecture and old-world ambiance. This picturesque Bohemian city offers visitors a wealth of choice of activities, from walking the cobbled streets of the old city to enjoying Prague’s rich tradition of café culture.

Qatar Airways will operate its daily Prague service with an Airbus A320 aircraft, which features 12 seats in Business Class and 120 seats in Economy Class.

On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, flight QR289 will depart Doha (DOH) at 02:30 and arrive in Prague (PRG) at 07:40. The return flight, QR290, will depart Prague at 09:25 to arrive back in Doha at 16:25.

On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays flight QR 291 will depart Doha at 08:00 to arrive in Prague at 13:10. Flight Q292 will then return to Doha at 17:10 landing at HIA at 00:10 the following day.

Mr. Vaclav Rehor, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Prague Airport, said, “The proposed schedule, at two different times of operations, will support connections within the carrier’s network via Doha to Asian and Australian routes. We expect that passengers coming from Prague will be most interested in the connecting flights to Bali, Bangkok, Colombo, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Kuwait, Hong Kong, Delhi and Sydney. Czech passengers can look forward to a wider selection of available flights to Asia and Australia and also to comfortable connections to a number of other destinations, such as Windhoek (Namibia), Kilimanjaro (Tanzania), Zanzibar (Tanzania) and Salalah (Oman).”

Qatar Airways Cargo commenced freighter operations to Prague, Czech Republic, a growing trade market in Eastern Europe, in March 2016.

The airline’s cargo division currently operates three times weekly Airbus A330F from Doha to Prague via Budapest, providing 180 tonnes of cargo capacity.

Prague is a major gateway into Eastern Europe from Asia for electronics and automotive parts, as well as textiles, pharmaceuticals and biotech products.

The introduction of daily passenger flights to and from Prague will inject additional bellyhold freight capacity on the route, connecting local businesses to the carrier’s extensive cargo network via its state-of-the-art Doha hub.
