Qatar Airways increases the number of flights to Brazil due to high demand. The Gulf state airways identifies Brazil as a key market in Latin America and is positive about its flight operations to the country.

The Arab airline has a positive outlook for Brazil and will introduce its third daily flight between Qatar and São Paulo/Guarulhos next year.

The high occupancy of the flights pleases the company’s executives, as Qatar Airways continued flying to Brazil even during the worst moments of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Craig Thomas, Qatar Airways’ Vice-President of Sales for the Americas, expressed strong confidence in the Brazilian market.

The flights from Brazil are operating at a high occupancy rate, forcing the airline to turn away some customers because the flights are full.

The company is confident and optimistic about the Brazilian market and excited about the growth and continuous demand.

The increase from 14 weekly flights (two daily) to 18, meaning three daily flights on four days of the week, some extending to Buenos Aires, is confirmed.

However, despite Thomas talking about expansion this year, the company’s system shows the third flight scheduled only for next March, likely due to constant delays in new aircraft deliveries.

EXPANSION

This move is part of Qatar Airways’ strategic plan to expand its global network and strengthen its presence in key markets.

The airline has been actively increasing its flights to various destinations worldwide in response to a surge in demand as countries start to ease travel restrictions.

The addition of the third daily flight to São Paulo will not only benefit travelers but also support trade and strengthen economic ties between Qatar and Brazil.

The airline has also considered the continuous delays in new aircraft deliveries, which is why the third flight is scheduled for next March.

Meanwhile, Qatar Airways will continue to monitor the market and adjust its flight schedule as necessary to meet the demand.
