Cardiff to Doha with Qatar Airways

Qatar Airways has announced the launch of a new frequent service from Cardiff Airport, linking Wales and south west England to Qatar and significant global markets via the destination's capital city Doha in 2018.

The new service will be the first regular direct long-haul flight linking Wales and south west England to a major global hub in the Gulf region, benefiting both leisure and business travellers.

Services will fly between Cardiff and Hamad International Airport in Doha, from where the airline connects to more than 150 destinations across six continents including key routes to Australia, UAE, Thailand, India, Hong Kong, South Africa and China.

Deb Barber, CEO at Cardiff Airport, said: ?I am immensely proud that Qatar Airways has chosen Cardiff Airport to operate its new service to Doha. It is fantastic that we will now be able to offer our customers more choice of travel with a world-class airline providing easy connections to destinations across the world.

?More than one million passengers per year from our region are travelling to destinations that are on the Qatar Airways network. More than 90% of these passengers are currently travelling via London and this new service will give them the opportunity to fly more conveniently from Cardiff, their local airport.

?It has been a long journey to get to this stage, with discussions spanning a number of years. Over the coming months we will work with the team at Qatar Airways to confirm the details of the service and look forward to the flights being on sale in the near future.?
