Among the new destinations in the pipeline are Lagos and Accra from January 2, and a new route to Shanghai from April 10.
Vienna is in the planning, too, with start on May 1, while a non-stop service to New York will be added from June 1, to provide the first nonstop direct flight between the Middle East and the USA.
At the root of the new longhaul plan is the airline's accition of long-range Airbus aircraft to its fleet.
