Qatar Airways announces start of Chiang Mai service

Saturday, 30 May, 2016 0
Qatar Airways has announced the start date of its proposed service to Chiang Mai, becoming its fourth Thai destination.
 
Flights begin the northern Thai city five times a week via Yangon, Myanmar on 16 December 2016 and will be operated by Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
 
The A330 has 24 seats in business class with fully lie flat seats and 236 in economy.
 
Qatar also flies to Bangkok and Phuket, and starts a Krabi service on December 6.
 
 
"As we are constantly expanding our network in South East Asia, the popular tourist destination of Thailand is an obvious target for growth," said Qatar Air’s senior vice president East Asia & South West Pacific, Marwan Koleilat.
 
"We have seen increased travel demand for our services to Thailand and now with the introduction of our award-winning product to popular secondary cities such as Chiang Mai and Krabi, we provide overseas visitors and tour operators with greater flexibility and ease of travel."
 
With the two additional routes in December, Qatar Air will increase the number of flights to Thailand from 39 to 48 per week.
