Qatar Airways announces increased connectivity for Nigerian destinations

The company’s flights will be operated via Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (KAN) and Port Harcourt International Airport (PHC) near Rivers State.

Akbar Al Baker, chief executive at Qatar Airways Group commented:

“This is a defining moment for Qatar Airways, with Nigeria becoming our most connected market in Africa with the launch of our new services to Kano and Port Harcourt.

“We see tremendous opportunity in the region and these new routes are an important catalyst to further boost trade and commerce in the country.

“Our presence in Nigeria now covers four key markets and is a real affirmation of our support to the country.

“Qatar Airways has stayed steadfast in its commitment to Africa throughout the pandemic, operating continuously and reliably to Nigeria.

“We have since increased frequencies and grown our network, considerably, improving connectivity to and from the continent and providing travellers with more choice and convenience.”

With the inauguration of the new services, the two Nigerian airports welcomed QA aircraft with traditional water cannon greetings.

Qatar Airways also offers daily service in Nigeria, with flights to Lagos and Abuja.
