The Qatari airline, Qatar Airways, will begin operating flights to Caracas (Venezuela) and Bogotá (Colombia) starting July 22nd, making it the first airline from the Persian Gulf to directly connect with Venezuela and the first from the Middle East to fly to both American capitals.
According to a statement released by the Qatari company on Monday, the new routes will strengthen connectivity between the Middle East and Latin America. Qatar Airways will offer two weekly flights to each city, departing on Wednesdays and Sundays.
"The schedules have been designed to facilitate seamless connections at Hamad International Airport to key destinations such as Australia, China, Japan, Lebanon, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates," the statement added.
With the addition of Caracas and Bogotá, Qatar Airways now serves sixteen routes in the Americas. The airline began its operations in South America in 2010 with its inaugural flight to São Paulo (Brazil).
"This expansion underscores the airline's commitment to strengthening global connectivity in the region," the airline emphasized.
With these two new routes, Qatar Airways will operate to over 160 international destinations this summer. EFE
