Qatar Airways (QA) continues to expand its list of global destinations.

The airline yesterday announced its plans to offer direct flights from Doha to Gaborone, Botswana, starting October 27.

The capital and largest city of Botswana will be the airline’s first destination in the African country.

There will be a total of three flights every week to Gaborone, the airline said. These will be operated by an Airbus A350-900 aircraft, which features 36 seats in Business Class and 247 seats in Economy.

“We are excited to be launching three-weekly flights to Gaborone, another highly sought-after destination in Africa,” Qatar Airways Group chief executive HE Akbar Al Baker said.

“Qatar Airways is committed to growing our presence in Africa and adding to the 22 destinations in 15 countries we already offer,” he said.

[This] new service to the enchanting city of Gaborone will enable [the airline] to provide a seamless journey to and from Botswana, for passengers connecting from [its] extensive network of more than 160 destinations worldwide.

Botswana is a landlocked country in southern Africa, bounded by Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

Adventure seekers from across the globe flock to the country to enjoy its captivating nature and wildlife.

Qatar Airways currently operates a fleet of more than 250 aircraft via its hub, Hamad International Airport.

The airline recently launched a range of new destinations, including Rabat, Morocco; Izmir, Turkey; Malta; Davao, Philippines; Lisbon, Portugal; and Mogadishu, Somalia. 

The airline plans to add Langkawi, Malaysia, to its route network in October.

This year, the national flag carrier bagged a number of top global recognitions including: the ‘World’s Best Airline’ at the 2019 World Airline Awards, the ‘Best Airline in the Middle East’, ‘World’s Best Business Class’ and ‘Best Business Class Seat’, in recognition of its Business Class experience, Qsuite. 

QA is the only airline to have been a five-time winner of the coveted Skytrax Airline of the Year title.

The flight for the new destination will be (Sunday, Wednesday, Friday):

* Doha-Johannesburg: QR1377 departing Doha at 6.55am and arriving in Johannesburg at 2.50pm, and Johannesburg-Gaborone: QR1377 departing Johannesburg at 3.55pm and arriving in Gaborone at 4.50pm.
