S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Starting in June 2010, Qatar Airways will start operating daily flights between Doha and S\u00e3o Paulo. The announcement was made on the 10th by the airlines marketing vice president, Taco Nieuwenhuijsen, to the minister of Tourism of Brazil, Luiz Barretto, and to Brazilian Tourism Institute (Embratur) president Jeanine Pires, in Berlin, Germany, during the ITB, Berlin\u2019s international travel fair.<\/p>\n
The flights leaving the city of S\u00e3o Paulo will have a stop in Buenos Aires, Argentina, according to the licence granted by ANAC to Qatar Airways.<\/p>\n
\u201cSouth America is a great example of our strategy to expand destinations from our centre in Doha, Qatar. With the growth of Brazil and Argentina, we can finally say that Qatar Airways has become a global airline, reaching all parts of the world, and just 13 years after having started our operations as a small regional company,\u201d said Akbar Al Baker, the company\u2019s CEO, during the event.<\/p>\n
The route should be operated in a Boeing 777, for 250 passengers. According to information provided by a company representative in Brazil, the times of the flights have not yet been defined.<\/p>\n
With the objective of further expanding travel connections between Qatar and Brazil, in May, Embratur should promote seminars about Brazil for agents and travel operators in Doha.<\/p>\n
