Qatar Airways has revealed its first new destination in 2015 – Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands, starting from June 16 this year.
“Amsterdam has long been on our list of destinations to introduce to our network,” Qatar Airways Group CEO Akbar al-Baker said yesterday.
The Doha-Amsterdam route will operate with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, one of the latest next-generation aircraft in the airline’s fleet, offering 254 seats configured in two classes, with 22 fully-flat-bed seats in Business Class and 232 in Economy Class.
Flying non-stop, the total journey time between Doha and Amsterdam is six hours and 35 minutes.
The daily flights will be departing from Doha in the morning arriving into Amsterdam in the early afternoon and with return flights to Doha departing in the late afternoon. The schedule provides the convenience and flexibility for passengers to travel to the city for short leisure breaks or business meetings.
A highly-popular tourist destination, the Netherlands counts 10 sites listed on the Unesco World Heritage List. Amsterdam contains two of them – the 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19th-20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam.
A port city and a growing destination for business, Amsterdam acts as a base for seven of the world’s 500 largest companies, including Philips and ING.
