Qatar Airways is expanding its capacity to South Africa by 10% with the launch of a daily year-round service to Cape Town on October 1, double daily services to Johannesburg, and four new weekly flights to Durban (via Johannesburg), both starting December 17.
Speaking at a media briefing in Cape Town on June 2, Chief Commercial Officer, Marwan Koleilat, said all three routes would operate with modern B787 Dreamliners.
The announcement comes as Qatar Airways celebrates a decade of service to South Africa during which its frequencies grew from four a week in 2005 to its current 10 weekly flights to Johannesburg and three a week to Cape Town.
