New Delhi: Premium UAE carrier Qatar Airways announced on Thursday the expansion of its services to India by adding Chennai and Ahmedabad from March-April next year to five Indian cities from where it operates and raising frequencies on some existing routes by almost 60 per cent.
"From our existing 30 frequencies each week, we are now operating 42 frequencies till January 31. This will go up to 49 from next summer", airline CEO Akbar al Baker told reporters here.
He also announced plans to introduce a passenger service to Nagpur from the middle of 2007 and a twice-weekly freighter service around the same time.
Baker said the plans from Doha to Nagpur, where it was supposed to launch flights from this year, were delayed due to delay in supplies of aircraft.
