Qatar Airways announced expansion of its operations across India with the launch of two new routes and the introduction of additional capacity on existing services.<\/p>\n
Beginning April 2007, Chennai in southern India, and Ahmedabad, in western India, will join Qatar Airways' burgeoning Indian network, which already includes non-stop services from Doha to Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Cochin and Trivandrum.<\/p>\n
Chennai, capital of Tamil Nadu state, and the Gujarat capital of Ahmedabad, will each be served with seven flights a week from the start of the Summer 2007 flying season.<\/p>\n
With immediate effect, the Doha-based carrier has been granted rights by the Indian government to increase capacity to the country's commercial capital of Mumbai and the southern city of Trivandrum with its bigger, state-of-the-art Airbus A330 aircraft–almost doubling the number of seats on both routes, each served daily.<\/p>\n
The Cochin and Hyderabad flights will see frequency increase by two and three flights, respectively, to give both cities a daily operation, and each served with a two-class Airbus A321.<\/p>\n
Qatar Airways normally operates 30 flights a week between Doha and five cities across India. Under the new bilateral arrangement, the airline will serve India with 49 flights a week. The increase has been made possible following a successful round of bilateral negotiations in New Delhi this week between the governments of Qatar and India.<\/p>\n
During the Indian government's current temporary open skies policy for Winter 2006\/07, Qatar Airways has been granted rights to operate 42 flights a week, effective from December 15 until January 31, 2007.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
