Qatar Airways to commence additional flights to Colombo and Dhaka

August 21, 2017: Qatar Airways has announced additional daily non-stop flights to Colombo and Dhaka in wake of increased demand from passengers.

The airline has increased its Colombo service from four to five flights per day from September 1, 2017, just one month after the last frequency increase. Its Dhaka service will increase from two to three flights per day, also effective from September 1, 2017.

The additional non-stop, daily services to and from Colombo and Dhaka will each be serviced by Qatar Airways modern A320s, adding more than 1,000 seats to the current weekly capacity to and from both exciting destinations.

Akbar Al Baker, chief executive, Qatar Airways Group, said, “When passengers travel with us on our non-stop service to Doha and onward to destinations in Europe, Americas and the Middle East, these additional frequencies will provide even greater flexibility, award-winning service and convenience that they can only experience with Qatar Airways.

“The increased capacity on the Dhaka and Colombo routes represents a major commitment by Qatar Airways to enhance our offering to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. We have demonstrated our long-term commitment to both countries that has been rewarded with the loyalty of many thousands of passengers per month who choose to fly with us. We look forward to welcoming even more passengers on our flights.”

The Qatar Airways Airbus A320 features 12 Business Class seats and 132 seats in Economy Class. Besides a spacious environment throughout the entire aircraft, passengers across both cabins can enjoy complimentary inflight meals.
