Qatar Airways flies to Geneva again
After almost two years, Qatar Airways is flying to Geneva Airport again. The time has come on March 27th – Qatar Airways will fly four times a week from Doha to Geneva and back.
After the last positive news for Zurich Airport, there is now reason to be happy about Geneva Airport. The renowned airline Qatar Airways is resuming flights to Geneva and flies to the city on Lake Geneva again with an Airbus A350-900, among others abouttravel.ch reported.
Return to Geneva confirmed
Due to the pandemic, the flights between Doha, the hub of Qatar Airways, and Geneva were suspended. But from March 27, Qatar Airways will be flying to Geneva again. Initially, the Qatar-based airline would like to fly to Geneva Airport four times a week. Qatar Airways operates the route on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. An Airbus A350-900 is used, in which unfortunately no First Class is installed. With a little luck, however, you will find yourself on the route in one of the best business class products in the world, the Qatar Airways Qsuite. For the time being, Qatar Airways has announced the following flight times for the upcoming flights:
- QR099 | Doha – Geneva | Departure: 08:05 a.m. Arrival: 1:40 p.m.
- QR100 | Geneva – Doha | Departure: 4:10 p.m. Arrival: 11:10 p.m.
In the future, Qatar Airways flights are to be handled on the recently inaugurated east wing of Geneva Airport. This makes Qatar Airways one of the very first airlines to settle the new east wing, which will primarily be used for intercontinental flight connections. The construction of the new east wing also requires an investment from Geneva Airport in the amount of 610 million Swiss francs. It was built between 2017 and 2021, but the necessary preparatory work took almost five years.
Further flights to Zurich planned
But Qatar Airways is not only making people happy at Genève Aéroport. In addition to the return to Lake Geneva, the airline is increasing the number of weekly flights to Zurich from seven to ten from the start of the year. On Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, Qatar Airways flies a Boeing 787-8 to Zurich Airport at the following times:
- QR093 | Doha – Zurich | Departure: 1:55 a.m. Arrival: 6:30 a.m.
- QR094 | Zurich – Doha | Departure: 09:05 a.m. Arrival: 16:55 p.m.
This will add the morning flights to the existing flight offer. So far, Qatar Airways has operated flights to Zurich with an Airbus A350-900 at 08:05 and landing at 12:40. The scheduled departure from Zurich is to take place at 3:55 p.m. The arrival is scheduled for shortly before midnight.
Conclusion on the expansion of the flight offer in Switzerland
Qatar Airways makes faces beaming with joy at both Geneva and Zurich airports. After more than 24 months, the airline is returning to Geneva – initially four times a week. It is not yet known whether the frequency will be increased to a daily flight. In addition, the airline is increasing the number of weekly flights to Zurich by a total of three flights. Great news for both airports – a good start in 2022.
