Qatar Airways Increases Flights to Pakistan

Qatar Airways has increased its services to Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar.

The Qatari airline now operates 49 weekly flights to four gateways in Pakistan using Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 aircraft. The airline has currently grounded its fleet of Airbus A380s.

Flights to Islamabad have increased from 11 to 14 weekly flights, to Karachi from 10 to 14 weekly flights, to Lahore from 11 to 14 weekly flights, and to Peshawar from 5 to 7 weekly flights.

The airline has effectively increased its flights to Pakistan by 32% so that they are now in line with operation levels before the COVID19 pandemic started.

“We are excited to increase our services to Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar, offering our passengers travelling to and from Pakistan connectivity to the largest networks in Europe, UK and the US via the Best Airport in the Middle East,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Mr. Akbar Al Baker. “We remain committed to serving our customers in Pakistan and have worked hard throughout the pandemic to ensure we can operate as many flights as possible, in line with the directions of the Pakistan government. From operating special charter services to a number of commercial flights, we are delighted to now offer a strong schedule of services.”

To ensure a safe travel experience, passengers from Pakistan are required take a COVID19 RT-PCR medical test. Passengers will need to present a negative test result issued within 72 hours prior to departure, when checking-in. Children below the age of 12 years are exempt from this test if accompanied by family members.

Qatar Airways now offers over 500 weekly flights to over 80 destinations worldwide from its home, Hamad International Airport.
