Aug 08, 2019 (newstodate): After announcing the increase in frequency on its latest new Nordic route from Doha to Gothenburg, in Sweden, Qatar Airways is also raising the volume of flights to Oslo, in Norway.
Currently serving Oslo with 10 weekly rotations, Qatar Airways will add four more flights on the route, going up to two daily rotations from December 2019, each providing some 20 tonnes of cargo uplift capacity in the Norwegian seafood export market.
Qatar Airways launched flights from Qatar to Scandinavia with Stockholm as its first destination from November 27, 2007, adding flights from Qatar to Copenhagen from March 30, 2010, and to Oslo from October 5, 2011, rounding off in the Nordic region with flights to Helsinki, Finland, from October 10, 2016, and finally adding its 5th Nordic, and 2nd Swedish destination, Gothenburg, from December 18, 2018.
During the coming winter 2019/230 schedule, Qatar Airways will be operating a total of 67 weekly flights between Doha and its Nordic destinations, including 18 weekly flights at Copenhagen, 14 weekly flights at Stockholm, Oslo and Helsinki, and seven weekly flights at Gothenburg.
On the cargo side, this would tentatively translate into a total of 1,340 tonnes of cargo uplift per week, in addition to the freighter operations at Oslo Airport.
