QATAR Airways is celebrating 10 years of Hong Kong operations with a series of events and the launch of new flights.
A sale took place in late March offering promotional fares to 10 destinations worldwide, and Qatar will be holding the sale again in this year-long celebratory affair, according to Chan Cheong Eu, greater south China country manager, Qatar Airways.
Other consumer engagements are also in the works, including street performances throughout the city.
Additional flights from Hong Kong are set to launch as well, with this year’s first, a Doha route, established since February after Cathay Pacific gave up the slot, stated Chan, adding that a Boeing 787 Dreamliner is being used to ply the daily service.
He further said that more route launches can be expected later this year, including to lesser-known European destinations.
Hong Kong was Qatar’s 70th destination when it launched its maiden flight there a decade ago. The Doha-based carrier currently operates the second largest fleet of Boeing 787 aircraft with 27 on hand and 16 more on order.
