Qatar Airways will upgrade its Doha-Guangzhou service with the introduction of its flagship Airbus A380 on the route, offering business travellers a unique and enhanced travel experience. Guangzhou, the capital and largest city of Guangdong province in China, will be Qatar Airways fourth A380 destination, after London, Paris and Bangkok.

Daily flights on board the world’s largest commercial aircraft will begin on July 1, 2016, from Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. The A380 provides outstanding levels of comfort and reliability using state-of-the-art technology and sets new benchmarks for all the key qualities related to a passenger’s well-being while on board. Wider seats, lower noise levels, draught-free air circulation, and accurate temperature control are among the many benefits on the A380, which features a tri-class configuration with eight seats in First Class, 48 seats in Business Class and 461 in Economy Class.

The airline’s acclaimed Business Class cabin on the A380 features 80-inch full flat beds, 17-inch HD in-flight entertainment screens and direct aisle access. The upper deck also features a spacious in-flight lounge, offering First and Business Class passengers an escape from the typical airplane environment. In addition, First and Business Class passengers can look forward to a sumptuous on-demand à la carte service menu and luxurious Giorgio Armani amenity kits.

“This year marks our eighth anniversary of operations in Guangzhou and we are delighted to celebrate this milestone by introducing our bespoke A380 aircraft, re-affirming our long-standing commitment to China,” says Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar Al Baker. “The Pearl River Delta region is one of China’s most vibrant trade and travel hubs and we have witnessed steady passenger growth both to and from Guangzhou over the years. Passengers from Asia can now enjoy their entire journey on our luxurious A380 aircraft when they fly to popular cities such as London and Paris via our state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport in Doha.” www.qatarairways.com
