The daily Doha ââ¬â Nairobi flights have increased to 12-flights-a-week. From January 3, an additional two flights will take capacity up to double daily. The expansion comes after five successful years of operations to Kenyaââ¬â¢s capital city.
The Tanzanian capital, Dar Es Salaam, currently served daily, will receive an additional four flights a week from January 2. An additional flight from February 14 will take frequency up to 12 weekly services.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said: “We are pleased to introduce additional capacity to Africa and offer the travelling public greater options for air travel to and from the region.
ââ¬ÅAs part of our growth strategy, we continue to step up frequency on existing routes, which is a strong lever to facilitate growth in the business and tourism sectors.
ââ¬ÅWe have been serving Nairobi since November 2005 and this has proved one of our biggest success stories in Africa, so we are extremely pleased to be offering our passengers even more choice with additional frequency going up to double daily,ââ¬Â he added.
ââ¬ÅSimilarly, the Dar Es Salaam route has performed exceptionally well, almost four years old, having launched in January 2007.ââ¬Â
