Qatar Airways launches flights to Bangalore in 2010 expansion plan

Dubai: Qatar Airways on Wednesday embarked on its 2010 global expansion programme with the launch of scheduled flights to the southern Indian city of Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore).
Flight QR226 arrived in the country's IT capital city — dubbed India's Silicon Valley — in the early hours of Tuesday morning following its maiden non-stop overnight journey from the airline's hub of Doha, capital of Qatar.
Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka, becomes the first of several new route launches planned by Qatar Airways this year.
Scheduled flights are set to be introduced to Copenhagen on March 30; Ankara on April 5; Tokyo on April 26; Barcelona on June 7 and Sydney at a date to be confirmed, together with a raft of capacity increases on many other routes worldwide.
The launch of daily flights to Bengaluru takes Qatar Airways' Indian capacity up to 71 services a week to 11 key cities — Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Trivandrum, Cochin, Kozhikode, Goa and Amritsar.
