In a significant move signifying the continued expansion of its global network, Qatar Airways has announced the resumption of flights to Lisbon, Portugal. This strategic decision is part of the airline’s broader plan to reinforce its presence across Europe and provide more travel options and connectivity for passengers.
The resumption of flights to Lisbon is scheduled to begin on July 7th, with three weekly direct flights from Doha. This route will benefit both leisure and business travelers who seek a convenient connection between the Middle East and Portugal. The service will be operated by the state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900, offering premium comfort in both Business and Economy Class cabins.
“We are delighted to return to Lisbon, a key destination within our European network,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker. “The resumption of services to Lisbon will not only reinforce our commitment to providing global connectivity but also support trade and tourism between Portugal and the numerous destinations that Qatar Airways serves.”
With its award-winning service, Qatar Airways ensures passengers experience unparalleled luxury and comfort on their journeys. The airline also continues to prioritize health and safety measures as part of its stringent COVID safety protocols, ensuring that all travelers can fly with confidence.
The return of flights to Lisbon comes as countries around the world gradually reopen their borders and ease travel restrictions. The addition of this route contributes to rebuilding international travel dynamics and meets the growing demand for air travel post-pandemic. Passengers can now book flights through Qatar Airways’ website or contact their preferred travel agents.
As part of this announcement, Qatar Airways has also highlighted the importance of connecting people globally—not just through air travel but by supporting cultural exchanges and economic development.
This expansion into Europe underpins Qatar Airways’ strategy to grow its route map continually while offering passengers greater convenience, reliability, and world-class service. Lisbon’s inclusion reaffirms the airline’s position as one of the leading carriers bridging different parts of the world through extensive connectivity.
For those planning their next journey or business trip, Qatar Airways’ return to Lisbon offers an exciting opportunity to explore Portugal’s rich heritage, vibrant cities, and beautiful landscapes while enjoying best-in-class aviation services.
