Qatar Airways\u2019 Boeing 787 Dreamliner, flight QH850, touched down at the Penang International Airport at 2.30pm, along with its Qatar delegation, led by its chief commercial officer Ehab Amin.<\/p>\n

“We are delighted to launch direct flights to Penang, a long-anticipated addition to our global route network.<\/p>\n

“With a three-weekly flight between Doha and Penang, we are happy to be bringing visitors here to enjoy a beautiful experience in Penang,” he told a press conference in the evening.<\/p>\n

Ehab said the addition of Penang to the airlines’ global network came as part of their continued expansion plans throughout Eastern Asia.<\/p>\n

Also present were Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad (MAHB) managing director Datuk Badlisham Ghazali.<\/p>\n

Qatar Airways will increase the frequency to four times weekly effective July 1. Currently, the flights are on every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

The flight takes 12 hours and 30 minutes for each journey with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which has a sitting capacity of 254 seats.<\/p>\n

Qatar Airway’s Kuala Lumpur service started back in 2001, and has since grown to a triple-daily direct non-stop service to and from Doha.<\/p>\n
