Qatar Airways will operate a third daily non-stop route from Doha’s Hamad International Airport to Bali Denpasar.

Bali has long been a popular destination for Qatar Airways’ passengers, with the airline offering its first direct service in 2014, later enhancing this to a twice daily frequency.

Prior to this Qatar Airways served the destination via a touchdown in Singapore, but the expanding global reach of the airline and significant growth in size of its fleet has enabled the airline increasing popularity to now offer three daily direct non-stop flights.

Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker said: “The start of triple daily non-stop services from Doha to Bali Denpasar offers passengers from our global network even greater access to this popular leisure destination with smooth international transfers and a variety of times to suit their own schedules.

“We are delighted to confirm that the Boeing 787 Dreamliner will operate the third frequency on this route, offering the very latest in design and comfort to passengers, complemented by our other wide body aircraft, the Boeing 777 and the Airbus A330.”

The new direct flight, which commences on May 7th this year, will operate with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The additional flight is certain to be popular for those travelling from Qatar Airways’ extensive route network in Europe, the Middle East and the United States, with connecting times to Bali reduced with one quick international transfer at Doha’s Hamad International Airport.
