Qatar Airways (QR) is beefing up its presence in Europe by significantly increasing the number of flights it makes to Stockholm in Sweden, Copenhagen in Denmark and Brussels in Belgium.
From December 1 2015 to March 25 2016, QR flights from Doha to Stockholm will expand from a 10-times weekly service to 13 flights per week. This seasonal expansion will represent a 30 per cent increase in overall capacity. The Gulf carrier will operate a double-daily B787 service to Stockholm every day except Wednesday.
