Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Thierry Antinori, said:
“As we continue to expand in the European market, we celebrate the resumption of our flights to the beautiful city of Lisbon. Qatar Airways passengers can now enjoy very efficient ways to travel between Qatar and Portugal, as well as connect between Portugal and Asia, Africa, Middle East and the Indian subcontinent, through the Best Airport in Middle East which offers customers the best duty free and best lounges in the region.”
Slow and steady
It’s good to see Qatar Airways adding Lisbon back to its network, giving Portuguese customers access to the network, without the need to connect via Madrid or another hub airport before they travel onwards.
Sometimes a steady growth strategy is a good thing allowing aircraft to be allocated
Hopefully, traffic will be as such, and we might see the route go back to a daily operation. For now, four times a week is a starting point.
