October 31: Qatar Airways has announced to upgrade its operations to the southern Iranian city of Shiraz from an Airbus A320 to an Airbus A330 from November 2, in order to meet increasing demand from passengers.

The 260-seater Airbus A330 aircraft increases capacity on this route by 81 per cent, with 464 more seats available per week for those travelling on the highly-popular Doha-Shiraz route, reads a press statement issued by the airlines.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker, said, “Our Doha-Shiraz flights have performed exceptionally well since we launched the route six years ago. We have gradually increased capacity on the route by adding additional flights, and are delighted to now offer a larger aircraft with more seating capacity onboard our Airbus A330. Responding directly to increased demand clearly demonstrates our commitment to delivering five-star service to our passengers.”

Qatar Airways said it has been flying to Iran for 13 years, and first launched services to Tehran in 2004.  Flights to Mashhad started the following year, and Shiraz was introduced to the network in 2011.  The award-winning airline currently serves Iran with a total of 58 flights per week to and from Doha’s Hamad International Airport (HIA).

According to the press statement, Qatar Airways currently operates a total of 26 Airbus A330 aircraft in its fleet. The airline’s Airbus A330 features 24 Business Class seats and 236 Economy Class seats.
