Qatar Airways Launches Non-Stop Flights to Chiang Mai, Thailand

Qatar Airways has launched non-stop flights between Doha and Chiang Mai in northern Thailand.

The seasonal service to Thailand’s second biggest city will operate four times per week with a flight time of just over six hours.

Qatar Airways will utilise an Airbus A330-200 aircraft on the route with 24 seats in Business Class and 236 seats in Economy Class.

The seasonal service will operate from 12 December until May 2018, and will resume once again for the Winter 2018 season in October 2018.

Flight QR822 from Doha (DOH) to Chiang Mai (CNX) will depart Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 19:55 and arrive at 06:00. The return flight, QR823, will depart Chiang Mai on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 07:10 to land back in Doha at 10:55.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Mr. Akbar Al Baker said, “We are excited to be adding historic Chiang Mai as our fourth destination in Thailand to our extensive global route network. Thailand continues to grow in popularity with holiday-makers seeking to explore and relax in this beautiful country. The new route we have launched today reflects the increasing demand from our customers across our network for more high-quality leisure destinations, especially in the Far East. With the choice of four flights a week, passengers travelling from Chiang Mai are now connected seamlessly to more than 150 destinations, via our state-of-the-art hub in Doha. Next year we will add a fifth Thai destination to our network when we expand our services to include Pattaya, starting 28 January 2018.”

Qatar Airways Cargo currently offers belly service on Bangkok and Phuket routes. With the introduction of passenger flights to Chiang Mai, the overall cargo capacity out of Thailand will increase to over 800 tonnes a week.
