Qatar Airways has strengthened its presence in Southern Africa with the launch of a new service between Doha and Lusaka in Zambia and Harare in Zimbabwe. The new interconnected service was inaugurated with the Airbus A350-900, with 36 seats in Qsuite Business Class and 247 seats in Economy Class. The aircraft was welcomed in Lusaka and Harare with traditional water cannon salutes during its arrival.
The country’s largest city and commercial centre, Lusaka is the gateway to Zambia’s tourist attractions, from the Victoria Falls, shared with Zimbabwe, to game reserves and a variety of wildlife. Meanwhile, Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, will feature the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport (HRE), and is also a destination with rich culture, World Heritage-listed archaeological sites and diverse natural landscapes.
The company has increased its network with the addition of four routes to the cities of Accra, Abidjan, Abuja, Luanda and restarting services to Alexandria, Cairo and Khartoum, taking its presence to 27 destinations in 21 countries in Africa.
