Qatar Airways to launch Flights to Brazil and Argentina in June

Qatar Airways has confirmed that it will begin daily flights to Brazil and Argentina from 24 June 2010.

With the airline’s acquisition of two brand new Boeing 777-200 Long Range aircraft in the last three months, these will be deployed on the two South American routes – to the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo and Argentine capital Buenos Aires this summer.

Flight QR921 will depart Doha International Airport daily at 07:40, arriving in Sao Paulo at 16:00. The flight continues onto Buenos Aires, arriving at 20:05. Return flight QR922 departs daily from Buenos Aires at 23:05 to Sao Paulo before continuing its journey at 03:10 the next day, arriving in Doha at 23:10.

Flights to Sao Paulo will be operated daily non-stop from the airline’s hub in Doha, capital of the State of Qatar. The aircraft will then continue onto Buenos Aires.

The airline’s state-of-the-art Boeing 777-200 Long Range aircraft featuring Business Class seats that convert into 180 degree fully flat horizontal beds, will be deployed on the South American flights.

The aircraft features a total of 259 seats – 42 seats in Business Class in a 2–2–2 configuration and 217 seats in Economy in a 3–3–3 layout.

The aircraft is designed to operate on ultra-long routes of up to 17 hours non-stop. It already serves Houston and Melbourne, non-stop from Doha.
