Qatar Airways has announced the addition of three more flights to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport, making the route daily from October 26, in response to an increased demand for its services in Turkey.

The non-stop four flights a week service from Doha to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport was launched on May 22 this year, marking Qatar Airways’ expansion to its third route in Turkey.

The airline currently flies to three destinations in Turkey - Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport (four weekly flights), Istanbul Ataturk Airport (10 flights a week) and Ankara (four weekly flights).

With the additional flights from Doha to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport on October 26, the number of flights to Istanbul will increase from 14 to 17 frequencies every week.

Qatar Airways Group chief executive officer Akbar al-Baker said, “Qatar Airways passengers looking to travel to Istanbul will have even more choices with further convenience and flexibility in their travel plans.

“The extra flights will also be a great boost for the travelling public from Istanbul to cities around the world.”

Turkey’s tourism industry has experienced a recent surge and Istanbul is growing commercially, serving as a vital connecting hub between Asia and Europe.

Passengers to and from Istanbul will have better connections across a number of routes in the airline’s network of global destinations, including popular destinations such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bangkok, the Maldives, Bali, Singapore, Melbourne and Hong Kong.
