With the addition of Côte d’Ivoire on 16 June as the fourth
new African destination since the start of the pandemic, Qatar Airways
currently operates over 100 weekly flights to 27 destinations in Africa. Qatar
Airways also operates three weekly flights from Abuja, connecting more
passengers from Nigeria to the airline’s rapidly expanding network to now more
than 140 destinations.
Qatar Airways Vice-President, Africa Mr. Hendrik Du Preez
said: “Nigeria is a very important market to us and we will continue to offer
more travel options and seamless connectivity to the largest network of
destinations across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and North America.
“After just under a year of resuming flights to Lagos and
launching to Abuja, following the challenges imposed by the pandemic, it is a
testament to the resilience of the African region that we have now increased
our frequency to Lagos. We look forward to welcoming passengers on board to
enjoy our world-class hospitality and service.”
With more frequencies being added to key hubs, Qatar Airways
offers unrivalled connectivity to passengers, making it easy for them to travel
when they want to. Qatar Airways also offers strong connectivity to
Asia-Pacific with destinations such as Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta and
Manila among many others.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented
challenges for the aviation industry and, despite this, Qatar Airways never
ceased operations and worked diligently to take people home safely and reliably
throughout the crisis. The airline has also added seven new destinations in the
past 12 months including San Francisco and Seattle in the US, Abuja, Accra and
Luanda in Africa, and Brisbane and Cebu in Asia Pacific.
