Qatar Airways’ inaugural flight from Doha to Düsseldorf in Germany landed at Düsseldorf International Airport on Tuesday, 15th November.
The flight, which was welcomed with a water canon salute upon arrival, marks the launch of the airline’s latest German destination.
The opening ceremony was attended by Qatar Airways VP Sales, Europe, Mr. Eric Odone and Düsseldorf International Airport’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Thomas Schnalke.
Qatar Airways currently offers services to Munich, Frankfurt and Berlin, making Düsseldorf its fourth destination in Germany.
In July 2022, the airline increased its flight frequency from Frankfurt to three times a day. The move into Düsseldorf further demonstrates Qatar Airways’ commitment to the German market.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said:
“We are delighted to launch direct services to Düsseldorf, expanding our services in Germany, and marking our entry to the Ruhr region – just in time for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™.
With this new service, not only will German passengers enjoy daily flights from a new location, but customers in the nearby countries of Belgium and the Netherlands will also have access to over 150 destinations across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.”
Thomas Schnalke, Chairman of the Airport Management Board. “As of today, Düsseldorf Airport has one more great long-haul flight connection.
“Qatar Airways is one of the most renowned airlines worldwide. Their decision to include Düsseldorf in their route portfolio is a confirmation for our location.
“For business travellers as well as for vacationers, the new route is an asset. We look forward to many years of successful cooperation.”
The new direct services to Düsseldorf will be operated by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner featuring 22 seats in Business Class and 232 seats in Economy Class.
Qatar Airways passengers from Düsseldorf can benefit from generous baggage allowances, which are designed to offer passengers flexibility and convenience when travelling aboard Qatar Airways.
