Qatar Airways announced the return of its recently-launched seasonal routes to Antalya, Bodrum, Mykonos and M?laga, with more flights and upgraded aircraft on two routes from May 2019, aviation24.be notes in the following report:
The carrier will add an extra weekly flight to the Antalya, Bodrum and Mykonos routes from May 2019, as well as upgrading from the A320 aircraft to the larger A330 on all flights to Antalya, with the more spacious Boeing 777 replacing the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on all M?laga services.
All four routes to the hugely popular tourist destinations of Antalya and Bodrum in Turkey, Mykonos, Greece, and M?laga, Spain, have recorded a consistently strong performance in the four months since being launched in June this year.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, noted: “We are delighted with the exceptionally strong performance of these seasonal routes in the four months since they were introduced.
“The passenger demand for the return of non-stop services to these top tourist hot spots has been very high, so we are thrilled to respond by not only resuming these routes for summer 2019, but also by adding an extra weekly flight to the Antalya, Bodrum and Mykonos schedules.
“We are also pleased to have the opportunity to show our commitment to providing passenger-preferred, market-leading aircraft on our routes with the introduction of the larger A330 on the Antalya service, and the more spacious and efficient Boeing 777 for M?laga.”
Set against the crystal blue backdrop of the Aegean Sea, the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos is one of Greece’s most popular island resorts and became Qatar Airways’ third Greek destination when it launched in May 2018, just two months after the introduction of the airline’s Thessaloniki service in March.
The increased five-times-weekly seasonal service to Mykonos for 2019 will be operated every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 22 May-29 September 2019.
