Qatar strengthens Thailand services

17 Sep 2014  2038 | Business & Trade Fairs

PHUKET Qatar Airways will increase services to Thailand with the introduction of nonstop direct flights from Doha to Phuket effective 26 October.
The airline currently serves the Doha – Phuket route daily as an extension of its service to Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Akbar Al Baker, said: “The start of nonstop services from Doha to Phuket offers travellers access to the popular tourist destination and reduces travel time.”
“With the upcoming winter holidays, this is a great opportunity for travellers from the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas to plan their break with a beach vacation to Phuket.”
With the new service travellers from Europe, Africa and neighbouring Middle East countries will reach Phuket with a single stop involving a change of planes in Doha, rather than having two stops when the flight was routed via Kuala Lumpur.
Europe is a particularly strong growth visitor market for Phuket with the UK, Russia, Germany, France and Italy among the top five feeder markets.

In addition, the airline will increase flights between Doha and Bangkok from three daily to four daily starting 16 December.
The increased services are geared towards meeting high-season demand and reflect a growing confidence in Thailand’s recovery after a year of political unrest.

The airline sets the lowest roundtrip fare on the Doha-Phuket route at THB5,300 inclusive of taxes, fees, charges, and surcharges. To Bangkok, the inclusive lowest fare sells THB4,920.
Qatar Airways currently flies to 144 key business and leisure destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America.
