QATAR AIRWAYS is preparing for significant capacity increases to Germany with additional flights to Frankfurt and Munich, together with the introduction of services to Stuttgart – its fourth German gateway. With two new weekly flights to Frankfurt, four additional services to Munich and the introduction of thrice-weekly flights to Stuttgart from 06MAR11, the airline’s German frequency rises from 24 to 33 flights a week - services to Germany’s capital city Berlin remain at daily.

With the capacity increase on the Frankfurt route, up from 10 flights a week, effective 27MAR11, selected services will be operated using the airline’s Boeing 777s configured with 42 Business Class and 293 Economy seats. The existing daily Doha – Munich route will continue to be operated with an Airbus A330 with the increased capacity taking effect from 09MAR11.

“By adding these extra flights, we are responding to strong demand for additional capacity on the Munich and Frankfurt routes. The strengthened services will foster new business and tourism links with the largest economy in the European Union,” said Qatar Airways’ Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker.
