Qatar Airways has expanded flight capacity to Kuala Lumpur, Lagos, Shanghai and Singapore for the winter 2025–2026 season as the airline responds to rising global travel demand.
The increases form part of a broader winter schedule that adds additional frequencies to more than 15 major destinations, including Cape Town, Dublin, London, Phuket and Toronto.
The Qatar carrier continues to strengthen connectivity through its Doha hub at Hamad International Airport. Growing global demand for its travel experience has enabled the carrier to offer nearly 3,000 additional flights this year.
