Qatar Airways has spelt out plans to expand its presence across India as part of a long-term commitment to one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
Announcing the launch of daily flights from the airline's Doha hub to the southern city of Kozhikode, the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Akbar Al Baker, said the airline currently operates 58 flights a week to India, including daily scheduled services to Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Hyderabad and Kozhikode, along with a twice-weekly operation to Nagpur.

Addressing a press conference at Kozhikode, Mr Al Baker said that the growth of Qatar Airways was the result of close cooperation between the Governments of Qatar and India and it had ensured that air travel between the two countries remained robust.
"Our countries have enjoyed a special relationship for many years - a relationship that has come to fruition with air access gradually being stepped up between the two countries. This has enabled Qatar Airways to fly to more destinations across India and I am delighted that we are able to spread our award-winning Five-Star services to yet another city on the global map," he said.
