Qatar Airways has just announced more flights to around ten destinations, the vast majority in the Asia-Pacific region. This is good news for business travellers, as there is still a significant shortage of frequencies, particularly to Asia.
For example, on the Asian continent, OAG notes that over the week of 1er November, Seat capacity in South-East Asia is still almost 30% lower than in the rest of Europe. to what they were in 2019. And to 32.3% for North-East Asia. On theSouthern Africa, l'seat capacity is also down by almost 30% for the same period in 2019.
The increase in Qatar Airways frequencies is therefore welcome. Except that these new flights will only be added to the company's programme from December for Bali and January for other destinations. Long after the football World Cup is over. Only Singapore benefits from preferential treatment. Qatar added a third daily flight on 30 October.
