Qatar Airways announces increased frequencies across Africa for Northern Summer 2025

QATAR – Qatar Airways has announced service adjustments for Northern Summer 2025, adding new frequencies to Tanzania, Uganda, and Mozambique, focusing on efficiency, seasonal demand, and customer needs.

Starting May 12, 2025, Qatar Airways will boost flights between Doha and Dar es Salaam, as well as Doha and Kilimanjaro, increasing the frequency from 10 to 12 weekly.

This schedule will see further enhancement during the summer peak, with services expanding to 14 weekly between June 18 and September 7, 2025.

These routes will be operated by the Boeing 787-8, ensuring passengers enjoy a comfortable and efficient travel experience.

Additionally, Qatar Airways will increase flights between Doha and Entebbe, with weekly services rising from seven to 11 starting June 1, 2025.

The route will initially feature a mix of Boeing 787-8, 787-9, and Airbus A330-200 aircraft. From July 1, 2025, the service will exclusively use Boeing 787 aircraft, ensuring consistency and an improved travel experience for passengers.

The airline is also improving connectivity on its Doha-Maputo and Doha-Durban routes, with weekly services increasing from five to seven starting June 3, 2025.

These routes will be serviced by the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-8, offering premium services and smooth travel for passengers.

In contrast, Qatar Airways will reduce services on some routes where demand has declined. Flights between Doha and Abuja, continuing to Kano, will be reduced from four to two weekly.

Additionally, overall services to Abuja will drop from seven to five weekly, and to Kano, from three to two weekly. These changes reflect a strategic realignment to optimize resources while maintaining connectivity to these destinations.

From June 1 to August 31, 2025, flights between Doha and Alexandria Borg el Arab will decrease from 10 to seven weekly, with further reductions to three weekly during the off-peak season.

Similarly, the Doha-Djibouti-Mogadishu route will see frequencies cut from four to three weekly, operated by the Airbus A320.

The Doha-Lagos route will also experience a reduction, from 14 to 10 weekly flights.

These adjustments are set to have significant implications for the travel and tourism industry.

Increased frequencies on key routes will enhance trade and tourism between Qatar and Africa, fostering economic growth.

Meanwhile, strategic reductions will ensure resources are allocated to meet demand efficiently, enhancing the overall travel experience.
