QR to Launch Flights to Uganda, Azerbaijan and Georgia

Qatar Airways is expanding its international route network with Uganda, Azerbaijan and Georgia joining the list of countries served direct from the airline’s Doha hub.

Daily non-stop scheduled flights to Uganda’s second largest city of Entebbe are due to begin on 2 November 2011, marking the carrier’s first new route to the African continent since early 2007.

Four weeks later, effective 30 November 2011, Qatar Airways expands into Central Asia introducing daily non-stop flights to Baku which continue onto Tbilisi, the capital cities of Azerbaijan and Georgia respectively.

The expansion comes as the Doha-based carrier prepares for a busy few months ahead with the launch of scheduled flights to Shiraz, Venice and Montreal in June; Kolkata (Calcutta) in July; Sofia in September and Oslo in October. 

Qatar Airways currently serves 100 diverse business and leisure cities worldwide with a modern fleet of 97 aircraft. By 2013, the airline plans to serve more than 120 destinations with a fleet of over 120 aircraft by 2013.
