Hamad International Airport (DOH) announces the expansion of its connectivity to China with the launch of direct flights to Shenzhen, operated by Shenzhen Airlines. This new route marks the airport’s ninth destination in China and Shenzhen Airlines first destination in the Middle East.
Shenzhen Airlines will operate the new Doha-Shenzhen route three times a week.
Following the Shenzhen aircraft’s touchdown at Hamad International Airport, a ceremony was hosted by the airport to commemorate the launch of the new route.
Hamad Ali Al-Khater, Chief Operating Officer, Hamad International Airport, welcomed Cao Xiaolin, Chinese Ambassador to the State of Qatar, Li Chuanwei, Board Member & Vice President, Shenzhen Airlines, and other distinguished guests from Qatar and China.
Strengthening bonds
“As Shenzhen Airlines commences operations on the new Doha-Shenzhen route, marking its first destination in the Middle East, it not only strengthens Qatar’s connectivity with China and contributes to economic growth,” stated Al-Khater.
Established in 1992, Shenzhen Airlines operates a fleet of over 200 aircraft, connecting major domestic cities in China with key international destinations across East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
Shenzhen, often referred to as China’s ‘Silicon Valley’, is a global hub for technology, international trade, and finance. Its strategic location in Guangdong Province, across from Hong Kong, positions it as a critical centre for economic and technological growth.
