Qatar Airways are increasing the frequency of their flights from Doha to Manila, with more inbound links also now available from Manchester. This extra capacity is bound to be welcome as there are no direct London to Manila flights. |
Qatar Airways has increased frequency on their Doha – Manila route with the introduction of two new weekly flights. The extra capacity between the capitals of Qatar and Philippines means there are now nine services a week on this highly popular route.
Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker said Manila was one of the airline’s most popular routes across its Far East network, which currently covers 12 destinations. Hong Kong became the airline’s latest Far East destination with the launch of daily non-stop scheduled services on March 26.
“We are focusing a lot of our efforts on boosting our Far East network this year, whether it is through additional frequencies on existing routes, or introducing new services, such as Hong Kong,” said Al Baker. Al Baker added: “Our Manila flights are no exception. The extra services on this key route have been in the planning stage for some time. Qatar Airways is now able to offer passengers to and from the Philippines even more connections over our Doha hub to destinations across the Middle East, Africa and Europe.”
Qatar Airways currently flies to two destinations in the Philippines – Manila and the southern city of Cebu, served thrice-weekly via Singapore.
