The airline’s new service boosts regional tourism in Ireland and provides leisure and business travellers with access to more than 150 destinations across the world
Qatar Airways Group chief executive, Akbar Al Baker confirmed during a press conference held in Dublin that, “ Dublin has long been on our list of destinations to add to our route map, and I am proud that we are here to celebrate this significant milestone in the history of our airline. We are here to serve the people of Ireland with a world-class service connecting them to business and leisure destinations on our global network. It is also our pleasure to promote Ireland as a tourism destination to our loyal passengers who have already shown their appetite for Dublin.”
Dublin Airport chief executive, Kevin Toland, said, “ There are many great reasons to take a break in Dublin which is a wonderful, vibrant and exciting city. Visitors can explore the city’s exceptional museums, take a cycle around town on the city bikes, or take a walk on cobbled roads. A stunning countryside of mountains, lakes and quaint villages are a short trip away from Dublin for everyone to enjoy.”
Qatar Airways is planning to launch an additional 26 new destinations in 2017 and 2018 including Abidjan, Ivory Coast; Accra, Ghana; Canberra, Australia; Chiang Mai, Thailand; and Mombasa, Kenya.
