The agreement also opens up for Finnair and Qatar Airways to explore opening services between "another European destination" and Doha, which might tentatively indicate plans for adding Oslo to the program.
newstodate is now seeking information from Qatar Airways on the airline's total flights program to the Nordic destinations in view of the new cooperation with Finnair.
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 between Qatar and Oslo from October 5, 2011, rounding off in the Nordic region with flights to Helsinki, Finland, from October 10, 2016.
Starting from December 12, 2018, the carrier also launched five weekly rotations with Boeing 787-8 aircraft on the route from Doha Hamad International Airport to Gothenburg - but flights on this route were suspended as the Covid-19 struck.
