Qatar Airways will also increase frequencies to the following Eastern European destinations this year:

  • Zagreb – increase from daily to ten flights per week starting April 3
  • Budapest – increase from daily to ten flights per week from July 3
  • Baku – increase from daily to 11 flights per week from March 27

Increasing demand has also led Qatar Airways to roster its B787 Dreamliner aircraft onto one of its two daily flights serving Moscow Domodedovo airport, offering 122 more seats per departure than the previous A320.

Finally the carrier’s Warsaw service will switch from an A320 to the larger A330 from July this year.
