Qatar Airways has announced it will operate flights three times a week to Odesa, Ukraine, from December 9, 2021, becoming the second destination to be served in Ukraine by Qatar's national carrier. The service will be operated by the airline’s Airbus A320 featuring 12 seats in Business Class and 120 seats in Economy Class.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, HE Akbar al-Baker, said: “We have been operating to the Ukraine since August 2017 and our launch to Odesa marks a milestone in our history with the country. Odesa is rightly known as the pearl of the Black Sea and we look forward to bringing visitors from around the world to explore its rich cultural history as well as further afield along the coast and inland in the south west of Ukraine.
“Equally we are excited to offer leisure travellers from Ukraine access to our expanding network such as our Indian Ocean winter sun destinations including the Maldives, the Seychelles and Zanzibar. The route will also connect Ukrainians with friends and family across the globe from Sydney, Dubai and Bangkok.”
"With flights to more than 85 destinations in Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East, passengers wanting to travel to or from Odesa can now enjoy seamless connectivity via the ‘Best Airport in the World’, Hamad International Airport. "Passengers can look forward to great hospitality onboard delivered by our much admired cabin crew serving award-winning cuisine, and entertained with a huge variety of movies, TV shows and music on Oryx One, Qatar Airways’ in-flight entertainment system. The national carrier of Qatar continues to rebuild its network, which currently stands at over 140 destinations.
