The new routes will become the airline’s fifth and sixth
destinations in Africa since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in December
2019.
Improved flight connectivity is expected to boost tourism
operations as well facilitate improve trade and investment in Zimbabwe and
Zambia.
Qatar Airways announced in a latest statement that its new
service will be operated by the airline’s state-of-the-art Boeing 787
Dreamliner with seamless connectivity via the Middle East to destinations in
Asia, Europe and North America.
It said Lusaka and Harare were being added to its expanding
list of destinations in Africa from 6 August.
“Not only do we continue to rebuild our network after the
pandemic, but we are actively expanding it with the addition of these two key destinations,”
said Qatar group chief executive, Mr Akbar Al Baker.
“These are the fifth and sixth new destinations in Africa
added to our network since the start of the pandemic, taking our total new
destinations added across the globe to 10.
“The new service to Lusaka and onwards to Harare is
scheduled to be operated with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.”
