Qatar Airways resumes flights to Mykonos

Qatar Airways on Wednesday announced that it is resuming its service from Doha to Mykonos for the summer season.

The airline is planning to operate three flights a week starting May 14, using a modern A320 aircraft featuring 12 seats in Business Class and 120 seats in Economy Class.

"We first started flying to Mykonos in May 2018 and the route proved very popular with our customers. Due to the global pandemic, we had to suspend services last summer so we are really delighted to be returning helping support Greece’s efforts to restart tourism," said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker.

"We know the authorities in Greece are taking precautions to ensure public safety and visitors will be required to adhere to public health measures put in place in view of the pandemic. Equally we will be maintaining our own very high standards," he added.

Greek Tourism Minister Harry Theoharis welcomed the news. “In this difficult time this development comes when all of our efforts have been put into the safe opening of Greek tourism. ‘All you want is Greece’ is our new motto and with this, we invite friends of Qatar Airways, from all over the world, to visit us."
