Qatar Airways marks a significant milestone in the rebound of international leisure travel with the resumption of four weekly flights to the famed holiday destination of Phuket, Thailand, starting 1 July.

In addition to its 12 weekly Bangkok flights, the airline will operate a total of 16 weekly flights to Thailand, providing seamless connectivity for its passengers travelling from Europe, the Middle East and United States.

As Thailand reopens to holidaymakers from around the world, fully vaccinated travellers will soon be able to visit once again.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, H E Akbar Al Baker said: “With the resumption of flights to Phuket, Qatar Airways marks a significant milestone in the recovery of international tourism.’

‘We know many of our customers are eager to get back flying and return to some of their favourite holiday destinations, such as Phuket. We look forward to working with our partners in Thailand to support the recovery of their tourism sector.’

The route will be served by Boeing 787 Dreamliner with seating for 22 passengers in Business Class and 232 in Economy Class.
