Qatar Airways lands in Santorini – It operates three flights a week

Qatar Airways has been landing in Santorini since yesterday, Tuesday, June 7, launching three flights a week to the famous Greek island from Doha Hamad International Airport.

The A320 aircraft landed at Thira International Airport for the first time and was welcomed by senior Fraport Greece executives. The airline celebrated the event by creating a special menu for the flight, designed to highlight the traditional Greek cuisine. The inaugural flight from Doha was operated by Qatari Governor Abdulaziz Al Kaabi and Greek Governor Andreas Eulambides to honor the first flight to Santorini.

The island destination is the third Greek gateway of the national air carrier to the State of Qatar, after Athens and Mykonos. Seasonal flights to Mykonos resumed on June 3 with four flights a week and flights to Athens doubled to two per day, offering more options for business and leisure travelers.

With three flights a week to Santorini, passengers can now enjoy seamless connectivity with more than 140 destinations across the airline’s network worldwide via Hamad International Airport, to popular destinations in the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Improved connectivity means customers can leave Australia Friday night and arrive in Santorini on Saturday afternoon.
