Touching down in Lyon for the second time
Qatar Airways is expanding its network in France with direct four weekly flights to Lyon. The national carrier of the State of Qatar has landed its inaugural flight to one of the country's economic powerhouses, with the new direct service operated by a B787-8 on Monday, 3 June 2023.
Operated also on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, this new route with a belly capacity of 10 t of cargo adds a third destination to Qatar Airways' network in France, with the airline continuing its services to Paris and Nice.
Chairman of the management board of Aéroports de Lyon Tanguy Bertolus: "This connection will further strengthen the appeal of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and the Lyon metropolitan area by offering more options to and from the Middle East and Asia, particularly Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand."
