Qatar Airways goes triple daily to Cairo

The Doha-based carrier is introducing five flights to its current 16 services a week, taking frequency up to three flights each day offering passengers more choice, greater flexibility and additional travel options.

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said: “For the second time this year, we’ve increased capacity between Cairo and Doha due to over whelming demand demonstrating the resurgence in tourism, as well as business travel to and from the Egyptian capital.

“In the space of just three months, Qatar Airways has increased frequency on the route by 24 per cent, soon operating three daily flights each morning, afternoon and evening, and with better connectivity to an array of destinations including Beijing, Bangkok, Dubai, Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore, Colombo and cities across the Gulf.

“Come July 1, our passengers to and from Cairo will be able to enjoy enhanced flight frequency as well as our unmatched Five-Star hospitality onboard our aircraft.”

Qatar Airways has been flying to Cairo since 1994 – the airline’s initial year of operations and the route has proved highly popular both as a leisure and business destination.
