DOHA: Qatar Airways has announced the resumption of three-weekly flights to Mogadishu, Somalia from 6 September. Service to the city would be operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft featuring 12 seats in Business Class and 120 in Economy Class.
The airline would operate this service as a tagged flight to its existing operations to Djibouti which resumed last month. The resumption of three-weekly flights to Mogadishu will see Qatar Airways network in Africa expand to nine destinations.
With the addition of Mogadishu, the airline will operate 40 weekly flights to the continent across nine destinations including Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam, Djibouti, Kigali, Kilimanjaro, Nairobi, Tunis and Zanzibar.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said: “Qatar Airways remains committed to providing global connectivity to markets across Africa through the launch of new destinations along with the rapid resumption of services suspended due to the pandemic. We look forward to welcoming our passengers back onboard to explore our growing network in Africa.”
