Qatar Airways to Increase Istanbul Flights

Qatar Airways is responding to the increased demand for flights to Turkey by launching an additional three weekly flights to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport.

The new flights, which will commence on 26 October 2014, mean that Qatar Airways will operate the route with one flight per day.

The non-stop four-flights-a-week service from Doha to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport was initially launched on 22 May 2014, marking Qatar Airways’ expansion to its third route in Turkey.

The airline currently operates to three destinations in Turkey - Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport (four-weekly-flights), Istanbul Ataturk Airport (10-flights-a-week) and Ankara (four-weekly-flights).

With the additional flights from Doha to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport on 26 October, the number of flights to Istanbul rises from 14 to 17 frequencies each week.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said, “Qatar Airways passengers looking to travel to Istanbul will have even more choice with further convenience and flexibility to their travel plans. The extra flights will also be a great boost for the travelling public from Istanbul to cities around the world.”
