Qatar Airways is launching new direct flights to the Turkish city of Hatay, Turkey. The new route will be operated by an Airbus A320, featuring 12 seats in Business Class.
Flights will operate three times weekly on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays with flight QR271 departing Doha at 07:30, arriving in Hatay at 11:25am. The return flight QR272 departs Hatay at 12:25, landing in Doha at 15:55.
Hatay, also known as Antakya, was one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire, and is known for its many well-preserved ancient Roman mosaics, as well as its traditional products including olive oil soap, fine silk and delicious local cuisine.
Qatar Airways currently operates direct flights to Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen Airport three times daily, to Istanbul Atatürk Airport ten times weekly, to Adana Şakirpaşa Airport three times weekly and a daily service to Ankara’s Esenboğa Airport. Hatay will be the carrier’s fifth destination in Turkey.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said:
“We are delighted to announce the launch of this new route, which reflects the close relationship between the State of Qatar and Turkey. And Turkey itself is continuing to grow in popularity with our passengers for both business and leisure purposes, attracting travellers who wish to enjoy its rich culture. We are delighted to offer yet another gateway into this spectacular country, and to provide even more choice to our passengers who wish to experience all that Turkey has to offer.”
Qatar Airways connects Turkey to over 150 destinations via Hamad International Airport (HIA), and offers seamless connecting flights from Fast East, Australia and the Middle East and beyond.
