QATAR AIRWAYS INCREASES KL-DOHA FLIGHTS TO TEN
KUALA LUMPUR, May 12 (Bernama) -- Qatar Airways will increase its Kuala
Lumpur (KL)-Doha flights by three to ten a week effective June 1, 2009 to cope
with rising demand.
In a statement here Tuesday, Qatar Airways said the move came on the back of
strong demand from Malaysian passengers looking to travel overseas.
Its chief executive officer, Akbar Al Bakar, said the additional flights
underscored the airline's ongoing expansion, and also showed confidence in
Malaysia as a growth market, one that continued to display strong potential.
"KL plays a vital economic role in the Far East and continues to remain a
robust economy," he said.
He said under the current expansion plans, the airline would launch six new
routes across India, Australia and Europe over the next ten months, as well as
US$1 billion (US$1=RM3.49) being pumped into expanding facilities at Doha
international airport.
