Qatar Airways will launch flights to Durban via Johannesburg four times a week from December 17. This is in addition to its daily direct flights to Cape Town, starting from October 1. All three of Qatar’s South African routes will be operated by the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
This will bring the total number of flights to Johannesburg to 14 (a double-daily service), up from 10 weekly flights, and the daily direct Cape Town service will mean the carrier will have three flights a day between Doha and South Africa.
“The new Durban service and additional flights to South Africa will offer business and leisure passengers excellent connections to popular routes in Europe and the Far East,” the airline said.
