Middle East carrier Qatar Airways began its Chengdu route today, the company’s sixth destination in China.
The Airbus A330 was welcomed by a traditional waterhose salute after completing the journey from the carrier’s Doha hub.
The service will now operate three times a week.
“Qatar Airways saw an immense potential to operate in Chengdu, which is set to play a critical role in the next wave of economic development in Western China,” said Qatar Airways chief executive officer, Akbar Al Baker.
“It’s hardly a surprise, therefore, that nearly half of the world’s Fortune 500 companies have opened offices in the city, and that Chengdu is aiming to become China’s fastest growing aviation hub.”
