Qatar Airways is continuing to ramp-up and rebuild its network across Africa, with the Doha-based carrier now serving 23 destinations with more than 100 weekly flights.

“We are proud to be the leading international carrier connecting Africa with Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and the U.S., offering more flexible travel options and a global network of flights that passengers, trade and business partners can rely on,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker.

“Having launched three new destinations in Africa with Abuja, Accra and Luanda joining our network in 2020, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to the region by adding new routes and steadily increasing frequencies across the continent.

“With the resumption of Alexandria and Cairo, we will operate over 100 weekly flights to and from Africa with connections via the Best Airport in the Middle East, Hamad International Airport, to our global network of over 120 destinations.

“As global travel recovers in 2021, we look forward to further expanding our network and offering more connections to and from Africa,” he said.

Al Baker said the national carrier of the State of Qatar continues to rebuild its network, which currently stands at over 120 destinations with plans to increase to over 130 by the end of March 2021.
