Qatar Airways is expanding its African network with route resumptions, added frequencies and a new service to Port Sudan, Emerging Travel reported on June 4, as the carrier continues to pivot after the third Gulf war with Iran in March.
The airline will restart four weekly flights to Seychelles and two weekly flights to Kigali from June 16, and a daily service to Marrakesh from July 1.
It is also increasing frequencies on several routes. Alexandria rises from three weekly flights to up to seven, Cairo from 28 to up to 35, Cape Town from seven to up to 10, and Dar es Salaam from three to up to seven. The Lusaka-Harare service goes from five weekly flights to up to seven, and Maputo-Durban from four to up to seven.
From July 2, the carrier will launch three weekly flights to Port Sudan, operating every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Flight QR1319 departs Doha at 09:00 and arrives at 11:00, with the return QR1320 leaving Port Sudan at 12:25 and reaching Doha at 16:20.
Qatar Airways said passengers travelling to Port Sudan from markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, such as Oman and Pakistan, could connect through Hamad International Airport. It said the move balanced growth with rising demand for connectivity and trade.
The carrier said it was rebuilding its network to more than 160 destinations worldwide.
