QATAR Airways launched scheduled flights to Stockholm-its first Scandinavian destination-becoming the only airline from the Middle East to serve the Baltic region.
Qatar Airways chief executive officer Akbar Al Baker said: "It is a great pleasure to see our aircraft in Scandinavia for the first time and indeed become the only carrier from the Middle East to serve this region."
"Stockholm in particular, was chosen because of the huge amount of business and tourism interest in this wonderful scenic city and its surroundings. Our new flights will contribute to bridging links between two very different parts of the world.
"We welcome Swedish passengers and customers from across Scandinavia to enjoy our award-winning Five Star service from Stockholm to Doha and connecting onto our wide network of flights across the Middle East, Africa, Indian subcontinent and Far East." |
