Qatar Airways has added an additional daily flight to the Maldives, providing passengers with even more flexibility and choice when planning a getaway to the tropical island paradise.

The new service to Malé Velana International Airport, which is set to launch on 28 October 2018, is part of the airline’s expansion plan in Asia.

Qatar Airways currently operates 14 weekly flight from Doha to the Maldives. The additional service will be operated by both the A330-300 and A320-200 aircraft, and will take the number of weekly flights to 21.

In October 2017, the airline upgraded its double-daily A330 service to the Maldives with an A350 featuring a total of 283 seats, with 36 Business class seats and 247 in Economy Class.

The third daily flight will also provide enhanced connectivity to destinations such as London, Berlin, Paris, Milan, Rome, Frankfurt, Zurich, Moscow, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Nairobi via Doha.

Located in the Indian Ocean, the picturesque islands are renowned for their immaculate white sandy beaches, magnificent diving spots and well-preserved natural wonders.
