Qatar Airways and Comair, a franchise of British Airways, have entered into a codeshare agreement that will add three new African destinations to the Qatar Airways route map and provide additional flight options to travellers in Cape Town and Durban.
Effective February 23, Qatar Airways will place its code on BA Comair flights from Johannesburg to Cape Town, Durban, Harare, Victoria Falls and Port Elizabeth. Qatar Airways will also place its code on flights operated by Comair from Cape Town to Durban and Port Elizabeth.

Comair has hub operations in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, easily connecting on to Qatar Airways-operated flights to Doha and beyond to more than 150 destinations.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “Africa is on the move, and travellers deserve better itineraries for their travel needs. Expanding our network with Comair was a natural progression of our investment in Africa and our desire to make it easier to visit this exciting part of the world, and for the families, businesses and organisations based here to connect globally.”
In December, Qatar Airways started a four times a week service to Durban and increased Johannesburg services from 10 to 14 a week.
