Qatar Airways has added extra services to the Vietnamese cities of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, as well as to Krabi, Thailand. These additional services will provide travellers with a convenient connection between Doha and the Asian cities.
Passengers will benefit from a new direct daily service to Hanoi, in addition to the existing daily flights from Doha via Bangkok, doubling capacity to the city. Ho Chi Minh City’s daily service will also increase by three flights a week to 10, with the frequency increases starting from January 1, 2018. A daily service to Krabi will commence from December 1, 2017.

The additional Asian flights follow the recently announced expansion of Qatar’s existing service to Colombo in Sri Lanka, and a new service to the Australian capital, Canberra. The frequency increases have come despite the recent GCC blockade, with Qatar Airways continuing its ambitious expansion plans and growth strategy.
“The Asian market is very important for us, so we are very pleased to be able to increase our flights to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Krabi,” says Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways Group chief executive. “Thousands of passengers every day already experience the seamless connection between flights through our state-of-the-art Doha Hub at Hamad International Airport, and now we have made it even easier for them to reach these increasingly popular Asian destinations and experience our award-winning five-star service. We will continue to explore opportunities to expand our global network of flights and add value by increasing services across our network in response to customer demand.”
