The Gulf company had not been seen in the lagoon since spring of 2020, when he canceled his connections due to the onset of the Covid epidemic. Just over four years later, passengers from the North West will regain their direct connection with what is the second most important hub in the Gulf.
The service to Doha will be guaranteed on a daily basis by a two-class Boeing 787-8, with 22 seats in Business Class (non-Q-Suite) and 232 seats in Economy. Starting from June 12, flight QR126 will take off from Marco Polo at 4.50pm to arrive in Doha at 11.10pm. From there, it will obviously then be possible to continue towards dozens of destinations in Asia, Africa and Oceania. In the reverse direction, flight QR125 will leave Doha at 9am to land in Venice shortly after 2pm. Venice thus becomes the third city served in Italy by Qatar Airways, after Rome and Milan.
With her, they will rise to seven non-European companies present in Venice and with Doha the intercontinental destinations connected to the Venetian city without stopping will become eleven.
Leading the group of non-European carriers is Delta Airlineswhich operates from Marco Polo in the summer season a total of 17 weekly flights: 10 to its mega-hub in Atlanta (with Three-class Boeing 767-300ER – Business, Premium Economy and Economy) and 7 to New York JFK (always with Boeing 767-300ER set up in three classes of service). Departures for Atlanta take off every day at 11.05am and three times a week at 9.30am, while take-off for JFK is scheduled for 1.40pm.
