Qatar Airways touches down in Tokyo

Qatar Airways has fulfilled its long-standing ambitions to fly to Japan’s capital city when flight QR802 touched down at Tokyo’s Narita International Airport. The addition of Tokyo, following the 13½ hour journey from Doha, marks the airline’s 89th international destination and second in Japan with the carrier already serving Osaka.

Tokyo also becomes the airline’s fourth new route launched so far during 2010 in a year of continued aggressive expansion.

Over the past two months, Qatar Airways has begun services to Bengaluru (Bangalore), Copenhagen and Ankara, with flights set to start to Barcelona and the South American cities of Sao Paulo in Brazil and the Argentine capital Buenos Aires during June.
