Qatar Airways has announced plans to expand flights to Germany with the introduction of scheduled services to Stuttgart and greater capacity to Munich next year.
Stuttgart will be served three-times-a-week with flights to Germany’s sixth largest city that will begin on March 9, 2011. At the same time, Qatar Airways will increase frequency on the Doha to Munich route from daily flights to 11 services a week using Airbus A330s.
The news comes as Qatar Airways prepares to embark on a huge European expansion drive with the launch of flights to Nice, Budapest, Bucharest and Brussels over a 10 week-period from November 2010 to January 2011.
Qatar Airways’ new flights to Stuttgart and additional services to Munich will see the airline operate 31- flights-a-week non-stop from Doha to four destinations across Germany. The carrier already serves Berlin daily and Frankfurt with 10-flights-a-week. By March next year, Qatar Airways will operate 182 flights a week to cities across Europe, one of the carrier’s key global markets.
A319s will fly on the new Stuttgart route with configuration of 110 seats – eight in business class and 102 in economy.
