Qatar Airways has enhanced operations to South Africa by increasing weekly frequencies to Johannesburg and deploying new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft from May 1.
Three flights a week will be added to the daily schedule to Johannesburg, bringing the total services on the route to 10 each week.
"In line with our commitment to offer our passengers more choice and the most exceptional travel experience, we are delighted to increase frequencies to South Africa and introduce Qatar Airways’ 787 Dreamliner on our routes to Johannesburg, Cape Town and Maputo,” said Akbar Al Baker, CEO.
"Our 787 Dreamliners give passengers a superb on board experience with specially designed interiors, spacious cabins and custom-made seats in Business and Economy class. This, along with an advanced entertainment system featuring the world’s first ‘dual-screen’ interface, and communication systems, including on board Wi-Fi for passengers, enables us to offer an exciting and unique product for passengers travelling from Southern Africa,” he added.
The new services will improve connections to destinations across the airline’s global network and particularly offer business and leisure passengers excellent daily connections to routes in the Far East such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and Manila.
