Qatar Airways to Launch Chiang Mai Flights

Qatar Airways has confirmed that it will launch flights to Chiang Mai, Thailand from 16 December 2016.

The Doha-based airline will fly to Chiang Mai five times per week via Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar, with an A330-200.

Chiang Mai will be the fourth city in Thailand to be served by Qatar Airways, which currently flies to Bangkok and Phuket, and will commence flights to Krabi on 6 December.

With the addition of Krabi and Chiang Mai to its network, Qatar Airways will increase its flights to Thailand from 39 to 48 per week by the end of 2016.

Qatar Airways Senior Vice President East Asia & South West Pacific, Mr. Marwan Koleilat, said, “As we are constantly expanding our network in South East Asia, the popular tourist destination of Thailand is an obvious target for growth. We have seen increased travel demand for our services to Thailand and now with the introduction of our award-winning product to popular secondary cities such as Chiang Mai and Krabi, we provide overseas visitors and tour operators with greater flexibility and ease of travel when designing their Thailand holiday itineraries.”

In Business Class, the Airbus A330-200 has 24 seats which convert to an 180-degree fully-flat bed in a 2-2-2 configuration. Economy Class features 236 seats in a 2-4-2 / 2-3-2 configuration, with a 32-inch seat pitch and 18.5-inch seat width.
