Qatar Airways has started non-stop service between Doha and Ras Al Khaimah, its fifth destination in the UAE. Ras Al Khaimah is known to be a gateway to many of the UAE’s natural treasures, popular for weekend getaways for travellers from the GCC, and a resort destination for longer stays for travellers from China, Europe, and India.
Qatar Airways’ inaugural flight arrived on February 2 with a Qatar Airways delegation on board headed by chief commercial officer Dr Hugh Dunleavy. The flight was officially welcomed by Sheikh Salem bin Sultan al-Qasimi, chairman of the Department of Civil Aviation, Ras Al Khaimah; Mohamed Qazi, CEO of Ras Al Khaimah International Airport; and Haitham Mattar, CEO of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority.
Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar al-Baker said: “We are delighted to launch our newest route in the UAE – Ras Al Khaimah. Qatar Airways’ network expansion will undoubtedly increase the flexibility and choice for our passengers to travel to and from different Emirates in the UAE, and we look forward to enhancing passengers’ travel opportunities from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to new tourist destinations in the region such as Ras Al Khaimah.”
Ras Al Khaimah is located in the northern part of the UAE, approximately 45 minutes from Dubai. With the opening of many five-star beach resorts and spas, the Emirate has quickly become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region. It offers a wide range of activities such as water sports, cruises, desert camps, golf courses, and mountain adventures.
Qatar Airways now offers up to 200 weekly flights from Doha to the UAE, including the new four flights to Ras Al Khaimah – 105 flights a week to Dubai International Airport; 28 flights a week to Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport; 42 flights a week to Abu Dhabi; and 21 flights a week to Sharjah.
An Airbus A320 operates the Ras Al Khaimah route, featuring 144 seats in a two-class configuration of 12 seats in business class and 132 seats in economy.
