Qatar Airways has launched operations to the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, marking the carrier’s 100th destination. Flight QR430 arrived from Doha to Aleppo to a water salute and airport ceremony.
On board the maiden flight to Aleppo was Qatar Airways’ Senior Vice President Commercial Ali Al Rais, who led a delegation, including Bashar Samara, Charge D’Affaires of the Syrian Embassy in Doha. They were met by senior airport officials and local dignitaries, including the Governor of Aleppo, Ali Ahmad Mansoura.
Addressing guests on arrival at Aleppo International Airport, Al Rais said; “We are celebrating this momentous occasion for the airline, and we are pleased to share it here with the people of Aleppo.
“Aleppo is an attractive tourist and business destination, and is an economic driving force behind Syria’s textile, manufacturing and trading industries. The city is also a destination that has long been on Qatar Airways’ list of under-served markets, where we have wanted to expand to. We are grateful to the authorities for their support in welcoming our expansion in Syria.”
