  • Bucharest (three weekly flights starting 16 October)
  • Copenhagen (increased to 10 weekly flights from 12 October)
  • Madrid (increased to 10 weekly flights from 12 October)

  • Sofia (three weekly flights starting 16 October)
  • Stockholm (increased to 10 weekly flights from 12 October)

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “As one of the few airlines to have continuously flown throughout the pandemic to take passengers home safely and reliably, we are proud reach this significant milestone in the rebuild of our network. Our focus is not only on restarting destinations but also operating as many frequencies as possible to provide our passengers the flexibility to travel when they want. With more than 700 weekly frequencies currently, and plans to increase our network to more than 125 destinations by the end of 2020, our passengers will enjoy more options to travel when they want across the globe, safely and reliably.”
