Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Airways, Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said, “In the two years since we began flying to Zagreb we have watched it grow into one of our most popular destinations in Europe. This is why I am so pleased that we are now able to provide our passengers with a new and more convenient option by offering a direct flight to this beautiful city direct from Doha. We are also excited that those travelling with Qatar Airways will now have the opportunity to experience and explore the new state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport, our newest pride and joy.”

The new route schedule will increase seats to 240 Business Class and 2,640 Economy Class per week, an increase of 72 and 384 seats respectively. The airline will continue to fly Airbus A320 aircraft direct to and from Zagreb. The aircraft has a two-cabin configuration, comprising of 12 seats in Business Class and 132 Economy Class seats.
