(MENAFN- The Peninsula)
Doha: Qatar Airways will resume services to Khartoum, Sudan, with four weekly flights starting May 11, 2021, increasing to daily service from June 1, 2021. The resumption of services will enable passengers flying from and to Sudan to benefit from the airline's extensive international network in Asia, Australia, Europe and the US. The Khartoum services will be operated by Boeing 787 Dreamliner featuring 22 seats in Business Class and 232 seats in Economy Class.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: "Sudan is a strategically important market for Qatar Airways. We are pleased to announce the resumption of services to Khartoum, allowing Sudanese to enjoy our extensive international network in Asia, Australia, Europe and the US via our home and hub, Hamad International Airport. We will continue leading the way in keeping our 24 African destinations connected to the world."
Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, is located where the White Nile meets the Blue Nile. Khartoum has more than 200 pyramids and the majority of them can be found in Meroë, the remains of an ancient trading hub. Up close, they are truly impressive to behold, with each pyramid bearing decorative elements from Pharaonic Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilisations.
The national carrier of the State of Qatar continues to rebuild its network, which currently stands at over 130 destinations.
