Jared Lee, Qatar Airways Vice President of Sales for Southeast Asia, Southwest Pacific & Indian Subcontinent said: “We are excited to reinstate the Airbus A380 for our Sydney service. Not only do we continue to rebuild our network after the pandemic, we are also actively expanding network capacity as global travel restrictions ease.
“This is the latest in a series of enhancements to our Australian network this year, following a recent increase in frequency earlier in March. The Australian market continues to be an area of strong growth for Qatar Airways as we see robust travel demand,” Lee remarked.
The national carrier of the State of Qatar continues to rebuild its network, which currently stands at over 140 destinations. With more frequencies being added to key hubs, Qatar Airways offers seamless connectivity to passengers, making it easy for them to connect to a destination of their choice.
