Jul 30, 2018 (newstodate): Hot news during summer 2018 was the announcement of the opening of Qatar Air flights to its 5th Nordic destination: Gothenburg, in Sweden.
Starting from December 12, 2018, the carrier will be offering five weekly rotations with Boeing 787-8 aircraft on the route from Doha Hamad International Airport to Gothenburg - an important industrial and business center with the largest port in the Nordic countries.
Qatar Airways launched flights from Qatar to Scandinavia with Stockholm as its first destination from November 27, 2007, adding flights from Qatar to Copenhagen from March 30, 2010, and between Qatar and Oslo from October 5, 2011, rounding off in the Nordic region with flights to Helsinki, Finland, from October 10, 2016.
Appealing not least to Norway's exporters of seafood, the launch of 20 tonnes cargo belly-hold flights out of Gothenburg will also provide direct uplift to markets in Africa, Middle East, Asia, Australia and New Zealand via the carrier's hub in Doha.
Qatar Airways Cargo currently offers more than 870 tonnes of cargo capacity each week out of its Nordic destinations Helsinki, Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm.
At the same time, Qatar Airways Cargo has reduced its offer in the Norwegian seafood market by suspending one weekly Boeing 777F flight from Oslo to Doha with effect from July 2018, now operating three weekly freighter operations at Oslo Airport.
