Qatar Airways to increase operations to Dubai with five daily flights
Doha, June 5
Qatar Airways announced to increase its capacity between Qatar and the United Arab Emirates by gradually expanding frequencies between Hamad International Airport and Dubai International Airport from two to five daily services, starting Friday.
The airline will gradually add frequencies through June and the summer season, taking the total to 35 weekly flights on the route.
The additional frequencies will be introduced in phases to meet growing demand and provide greater flexibility for passengers travelling between the two cities.
The existing two daily flights will be increased to three daily flights effective today, followed by the introduction of the fourth flight from 15 June, and a fifth daily flight will be resumed during the summer season. The flights will be operated on Boeing 777 and Airbus A350 aircraft.
This expansion reinforces Qatar Airways' commitment to enhancing connectivity within the region and supporting both business and leisure travel between Qatar and the United Arab Emirates with up to 35 weekly flights.
Qatar Airways has been steadily restoring its network across the Middle East and is currently operating to over 20 destinations in the region. Providing passengers with convenient and seamless connectivity, the airline resumed operations to Dubai (DXB) and Sharjah (SHJ) in April, and restarted flights to Abu Dhabi (AUH) in May.
Building on this momentum, Qatar Airways is continuing the phased restoration and expansion of its global network to over 160 destinations by this summer.

This is all well and good, but I hope Qatar Airways focuses on improving onboard service and food quality. Last time I flew with them, the meal was quite disappointing. More flights mean more passengers—they need to maintain standards! 🇮🇳
As an Indian expat in Dubai, this is fantastic! More flights mean easier connections to India via Doha. The A350 is a comfortable ride too. Hope the fares remain competitive—I'm tired of paying premium prices during peak season. 🙏
Impressive expansion, but I'm curious about the environmental impact. Five daily flights on such a short route—Dubai to Doha is barely an hour. Could they consider more sustainable options or carbon offset programs? Just a thought from an aviation enthusiast. ✈️🌍
This is excellent for tourism and business in the region. Many Indians working in both cities will benefit from the flexibility. I just hope the ground staff at Doha are better trained—the queues at check-in can be chaotic. Still, kudos to Qatar Airways for expanding! 🌟
Good move, but I wonder why they're expanding Doha-Dubai so much when they could use those aircraft on long-haul routes to India or Southeast Asia. The demand between these two Gulf cities is high, yes, but still—strategic priorities matter. Let's see how this plays out.
