New Qatar Airways flights to Kolkata launched

Travellers may be able to find value for money flights to Kolkata provided by Qatar Airways after the carrier launched a new route connecting the Indian city with Doha.

The daily, non-stop service began on Thursday July 28th and carried a plane-load of passengers to Netaj Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, taking five hours to complete the journey.

Al Baker, chief executive of Qatar Airways, highlighted how the destination is the airline's 12th Indian gateway and shows the company's commitment to one of the world's fastest growing economies.

"Qatar Airways has strategically positioned itself as a global connector flying passengers seamlessly across continents, from East to West in comfort and style, with an award-winning service onboard," he added.

The firm operates 95 flights a week in India and has also launched a twice-weekly freighter service connecting Doha and Kolkata.

Qatar Airways had the honour of transporting some of the finest cyclists in the world last month, taking them from Grenoble to Paris for the final stage of the Tour de France.
