Qatar Airways announced this year's route expansion to include three new destinations, including services to Kozhikode.
Beginning June 15, Qatar Airways launches daily services between Doha and the south-west Indian coastal city of Kozhikode (formerly known as Calicut). Kozhikode will be the airline's ninth Indian destination taking capacity across India to 58 weekly services.
Having launched scheduled flights from Doha to the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou at the end of March - with a fifth weekly frequency introduced only last week - Qatar Airways now operates 21 services a week across China, covering also Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
And starting November 10, Qatar Airways launches its third US destination with direct non-stop flights to Houston, initially with three services a week, rising to daily in December 2008.
"This year, Qatar Airways is celebrating three exciting route launches of Guangzhou, Kozhikode and Houston, together with increased frequencies on many existing routes to give our passengers greater choice," said Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker.
Qatar Airways currently has a diverse network of cities it serves across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Indian Subcontinent, Far East and North America.
