DOHA: Qatar Airways (QA) has strengthened relationship with Bangkok Airways with the addition of further code-share routes.
The new code-shares come after a year of rapid expansion for QA across the globe, with the addition of 12 new destinations last year, with frequency and capacity increases.
QA Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “It has been a period of rapid expansion for QA, with new route launches around the globe. The addition of these code-share routes with Bangkok Airways further enhances our competitive offering, providing our passengers with an unrivalled global network among the leading airlines.”
The expansion of the agreement with Bangkok Airways will enhance QA’s passengers’ options as it adds 10 additional sectors from Bangkok to Chiang Rai, Udon Thani, Luang Prabang, Vientiane, Nay Pyi Taw and Siem Reap, with Koh Samui to Singapore, Phuket and Kuala Lumpur and Phuket to Chiang Mai.
This will strengthen and complement QA’s current code-shares from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, Lampang, Trat, Sukhothai, Samui, Mandalay, Yangon and Phnom Penh.
Passengers travelling onto code-share destinations from Bangkok will also benefit from a superior travel experience on board QA’s A380 aircraft, which commenced service to the city last December.
Complementing the airline’s four-times daily service to Bangkok, the aircraft allows passengers the opportunity to experience the latest aircraft to join the QA fleet.
Those travelling onwards from Phuket will also benefit from the airline’s direct daily scheduled service from Doha, which commenced last year. The route was previously served from Doha via Kuala Lumpur.
