Doha: Qatar Airways has announced its summer flight schedule, maintaining its position as the leading international airline with reliable global connectivity.
Having never stopped flying during the pandemic, the airline has worked diligently to be the world’s leading airline for safety, innovation and customer experience. By the height of the IATA summer season, the national airline of the state of Qatar plans to operate more than 1,200 weekly flights to more than 140 destinations. This has won multiple awards, including being the first global airline in the world to receive the prestigious 5-star COVID-19 airline safety rating from Skytrax.
This was in addition to the home and hub of Qatar Airway, Hamad International Airport (HIA), which became the first airport in the Middle East and Asia to receive a Skytrax 5-star COVID-19 airport security rating in December 2020. Qatar Airways Group Chief Managing Director, SE Akbar Al Baker, said, “We pride ourselves on advancing the recovery of international aviation, implementing the highest standards of biosecurity and hygiene, and investing in the latest innovations to make travel easier and restore passenger confidence at the most difficult time of the year in aviation history.
“Having never stopped flying during the pandemic, we have used our unmatched experience and modern, fuel-efficient fleet to operate a sustainable and reliable network that our passengers, trading partners and corporate customers can rely on. We continue to offer the largest international network, including the introduction of seven new destinations to provide the connectivity our passengers and cargo customers need. “As the global vaccine rollout accelerates, we look forward to gradually easing entry restrictions through 2021 and welcoming our millions of passengers back on board the world’s best airline.”
Qatar Airways Cargo has played an important role in maintaining a reliable flight schedule across the destination network. Since the pandemic started, Qatar Airways has transported more than 500,000 tons of medical supplies and delivered more than 15,000,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines to over 20 countries.

Qatar Airways continues to expand its destination network, offering more flights to international destinations than any other airline.
