Friday, March 1, 2024

Today marks the relaunch of Qatar Airways’ daily service to Osaka, offering a seamless non-stop flight between Hamad International Airport (DOH) and Kansai International Airport (KIX).

Operated by the cutting-edge Airbus A350-900 aircraft, the route boasts 36 Business Class seats and 247 Economy Class seats.

Nestled in the heart of Japan’s Kansai region, Osaka radiates cultural richness and modern innovation. Famed for its harmonious blend of traditional Japanese heritage and contemporary vibrancy, Osaka mesmerizes visitors with its lively streets, iconic landmarks, and gastronomic delights. From the majestic Osaka Castle to the lively entertainment hub of Dotonbori, the city’s diverse landscape invites travelers to embark on an unforgettable journey through its enchanting streets.

Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Thierry Antinori, said: “As we continue to be at the forefront of global connectivity, Qatar Airways is delighted to once again serve the Kansai region of Japan with our new Osaka route.

He added: “This strategic expansion strengthens the award-winning airline’s commitment to the Japanese market, opening a gateway for travellers from Japan to the “Best Airport in the Middle East”, Hamad International Airport and our network of over 170 destinations across Africa, Europe, the Middle East and more.”

In collaboration with Japan Airlines through their codeshare partnership, Qatar Airways provides effortless domestic connectivity to 34 codeshare destinations across Japan. Consequently, Japan Airlines has designated its code to all Qatar Airways flights linking Qatar and Japan, encompassing Narita International Airport, Haneda Airport (formally known as Tokyo International Airport), and now Kansai International Airport, along with 14 destinations within Qatar Airways’ extensive global network via Doha.

These recent flight additions reinforce the robust cooperation between the two airlines, establishing a solid groundwork for the future expansion of both partners. Their shared dedication remains steadfast in offering passengers seamless connections and an expanded array of choices.
