Qatar Airways’ (QA) first non-stop flight from Doha to Gothenburg, Sweden, landed at Gothenburg Landvetter Airport on Wednesday, marking the airline’s second gateway into Sweden.
Qatar Airways flight 177, operated by Boeing B787 Dreamliner, departed Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Doha on Wednesday at 8:20am and arrived at Gothenburg Landvetter Airport at 1pm.
Present on board the inaugural flight to Gothenburg was Qatar Airways Senior Vice-President Commercial Strategy Simon Newton Smith.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar al Baker said, “We are excited to launch direct services to the beautiful city of Gothenburg, a key new addition to our European network. This important new Nordic gateway will provide enhanced connectivity to travellers and will help connect the Swedish people to our global network of destinations. We look forward to bringing visitors to Gothenburg, where they can experience for themselves the delights this charming city has to offer.”
Chief Executive Officer of Swedavia Jonaas Abrahamsson said, “Sweden is Scandinavia’s biggest economy and one of Europe’s strongest economies. New direct routes are an important contributing factor as improved market connectivity is crucial for Sweden’s tourism industry, business community and for attracting investment and know-how to the region.
“We are pleased that we at Swedavia, together with our regional partners, have been able to present to Qatar Airways the large market potential in the West of Sweden, resulting in the new direct route between Gothenburg and Doha.”
At the aircraft arrival ceremony, Qatar Airways was presented with ‘the Key to the City of Gothenburg’ award, in recognition of the benefit the direct service will bring to West Swedish companies by providing increased connectivity to Africa and Asia.
The award was presented to Qatar Airways by Henrik Einarsson, director of Business Establishment and Investment, Business Region G?teborg AB.
