Qatar Airways adds Ankara to global network
Qatar Airways celebrated the launch of scheduled services to Ankara following the arrival of its inaugural flight from Doha to Ankara.
With the touchdown of flight QR462 at Esenboğa International Airport, where the aircraft was welcomed by a dramatic water salute and met by senior airport officials and local dignitaries, the airline’s expansion into Turkey took yet another major leap forward.
By adding four-non-stop services a week between Doha and Ankara, the new route strengthens the airline’s operations in Turkey, where it already operates daily flights to Istanbul.
Qatar Airways is the only Gulf carrier flying to Ankara, operating an Airbus A320 with 12 seats in Business Class and 132 in Economy.
Ankara becomes the airline’s 88th destination and third new route of 2010. Over the past few weeks, the airline launched scheduled flights from Doha to both Bengaluru (Bangalore) and Copenhagen. For more continue to qatarairways.com.
