Japan Airlines Announces Nonstop Service to Doha
First Japanese Airline to Operate a Direct Flight to the Middle East
Japan Airlines (JAL) has announced today that it will launch a new nonstop daily service between Tokyo(Haneda) and Doha, Qatar starting in the Summer of 2024. This route will be the first direct flight to the Middle East operated by a Japanese airline.
Furthermore, by launching this route, JAL will enable customers to seamlessly connect to Africa and South America through its partnership with Qatar Airways, a oneworld® member.
The planned service will be operated using Boeing 787-9 aircraft and will be a codeshare operation with Qatar Airways. The existing Doha-Tokyo flight currently operated by Qatar Airways will continue to be a codeshare flight. The flight schedules are subject to government approval and can change in the future, as the exact schedule and launch data have yet to be announced.
Doha, the capital of Qatar, is a unique city that blends modernity and tradition. While preserving its own culture, the city offers modern facilities, hotels and infrastructure for immigrants and travelers, along with a mix of cultures and cuisines from different countries. Travelers can also enjoy a variety of activities such as desert tours, museums with historical treasures, and sporting events such as Formula 1 and soccer.
