Qatar Airways has launched flights between Doha
and the Italian city of Pisa.
Pisa
is the fourth city in Italy to be served by Qatar Airways, which
has been flying to Milan since 2002, to Rome since 2003, and to Venice since 2011. The airline already offers five daily
frequencies to Italy: two to Milan and Rome and one to Venice.
The
new daily flight to Pisa will increase the airline’s weekly
flights from Doha to Italy from 35 to 42.
In the last year,
Qatar Airways has strengthened its existing Italian routes and
demonstrated its commitment to the Italian market by introducing
new, wide-body aircraft generating a 35% increase in
passenger capacity.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Mr.
Akbar Al Baker, said, “Pisa is an important
addition to our route map, strengthening our ties with the people
of Italy by offering them another opportunity to connect with more
than 150 business and leisure destinations. We are equally
delighted to be giving our loyal passengers from around the globe
the chance to visit the beautiful city of Pisa and the surrounding
region of Tuscany.”
Qatar Airways will operate the Pisa route daily
with Airbus A320 aircraft. The A320 will also provide businesses importing
and exporting goods to and from Pisa with 11 tonnes of belly-hold
cargo capacity per week.
President of Tuscany Airports, Mr. Marco
Carrai, said, “Our region continues to open up to the world thanks
to the agreement with Qatar Airways and the opening of the new
service between Pisa and Doha. This new route gives us the
opportunity to enlarge the new network to business and leisure
connections throughout Asia and Africa. This is one of the most
prestigious milestones in the history of Tuscan Airports, as the
benefits for our region will soon be under the eyes of all. This
is an achievement that Tuscany Airports can really be proud of.”
