Following the successful launch of flights between Doha and Tehran in June, Qatar Airways is increasing frequency to the
Iranian capital with an additional service from September 18.
The additional flight
will operate every Saturday, taking Qatar Airways’ frequency up to five services a week.
The Tehran flights are operated with an Airbus A320 in a two-class configuration, Economy and First Class.
“Our Tehran flights have been so popular that there was a desperate need for extra capacity,” said Qatar Airways Chief
Executive Officer, Akbar Al Baker.
“We are now working on offering a daily service between Doha and Tehran to satisfy demand even
further.”
Tehran is the natural gateway to Iran and the country’s thriving business centre. Iran has around 6,000 years of history
and culture with numerous sites of great archaeological interest to visitors.
Qatar Airways’ new Tehran flight will operate on Saturdays at the same times as its existing four services between the two
capitals. Flight QR488 leaves Doha at 1200 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, arriving in Tehran at 1530
local time.
Return flight QR489 leaves Tehran on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1830, arriving at Doha
International Airport at 1900 local time. |
