Qatar Airways Strengthens Its Expansion in Latin America
Qatar Airways has announced the launch of two new destinations in South America starting in the summer of 2025. With two weekly flights on the Doha-BogotÃĄ-Caracas-Doha route, the airline becomes the first Middle Eastern carrier to offer direct flights to Colombia and the only one flying to Venezuela.
These flights will connect Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Doha with El Dorado International Airport (BOG) in BogotÃĄ, Colombia, before continuing to SimÃģn BolÃvar International Airport (CCS) in Caracas, Venezuela. The return flight from Caracas will operate nonstop to Doha.
The airline will serve these destinations with Boeing 777-200LR aircraft.
This milestone not only facilitates tourism and business but also strengthens diplomatic and economic ties between the regions. As Qatar Airways Group CEO Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer emphasizes, this expansion is transformative and lays the foundation for further global integration.
“The launch of flights to BogotÃĄ and Caracas marks a transformative moment for Qatar Airways and for travelers to South America,” said Al-Meer, stressing that the airline is creating new opportunities to connect people, cultures, and commerce.
With more than 170 destinations in its network, the airline reaffirms its leadership in global connectivity, offering not only more travel options, but also building bridges between cultures and economies.
The expanded connectivity not only meets the growing demand on strategic routes for business travel and tourism, but also reflects the fruitful cooperation between the Qatari government and private institutions in Latin America.
The Arabic language, as a cultural bridge, plays a strategic role in this cooperation, boosting educational, tourism and commercial exchanges. This is why the Green Zone Foundation is committed to strengthening these connections through public and cultural diplomacy initiatives that foster mutual understanding. Within the growing framework of collaboration, the Foundation foresees the opening of new opportunities in the short and medium term. Opportunities that will benefit both travelers and the most dynamic economic sectors in Latin America and the Arab world.
