The non-stop Doha - Copenhagen route, currently served six-times-a-week, will rise to daily with the introduction of one extra flight operating every Thursday. Services to Copenhagen were launched in March 2010.
From four-flights-a-week at the time of launch using narrow body Airbus A319 aircraft, the route has been upgraded in recent months with additional frequency and the much bigger A330.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said, "These capacity increases reflect the importance we place on offering passengers greater choice. We build capacity based on market conditions and the availability of aircraft, and today's announcement shows we are positive about Copenhagen and Barcelona allowing us to deploy additional aircraft on these routes. Copenhagen has been a great success story. In less than a year, we will have more than doubled capacity on the route from a narrow body to wide body aircraft, to soon becoming daily operations."
"I am delighted to say we remain the only Gulf carrier flying to Scandinavia with both Copenhagen and Stockholm in our network attracting significant connecting business from Norway, Finland and the Baltic States onto our dedicated Danish and Swedish flights," he added.
