Qatar Airways is re-introducing a direct, daily Doha to Auckland flight from September 1, 2023, which will again be one of the world’s longest flights.

Qatar Airways, which previously served Auckland via Adelaide, will be operating an Airbus A350-1000 on the route with 46 Business Class and 281 Economy Class seats and a key feature of the service is the Qsuite, which is available to Business Class passengers.

“The direct Doha to Auckland service augments a number of new routes announced in recent weeks and enables passengers in key European markets including the UK and Ireland to save time with this direct connection,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker.

“Business Class passengers on board our Auckland flights can also enjoy the enhanced privacy of Qsuite, which has been awarded the Best Business Class Seat in the World.”

Travellers can begin booking flights now for the resumption on 1 September 2023 and those previously booked for after 1 September travel will be re-accommodated, due to their tickets being via Adelaide to Auckland.

“With the largest global network in the region and the Best Airport in the Middle East offering seamless and efficient connectivity to destinations across the world, Qatar Airways continues to lead the recovery of international air travel with the airline rebuilding its network to more than 160 destinations worldwide,” Al Baker said.
