Louise Birchall, October 18th, 2011

Ras Al Khaimah Airways has launched daily flights to Kuwait and Doha, Qatar.

The UAE carrier will offer seven flights a week to Kuwait from November 20 and seven flights a week to Doha from October 30, 2011.

“We marked our entry into Qatar in July this year with four flights a week to Doha. With the latent opportunities in Qatar in the lead up to the 2022 World Cup, we have increased the frequency of our flights, to enhance our offering for business travellers looking to capitalise on the resulting rise in trade and tourism,” said RAK Airways CEO Omar Jahameh.

RAK Airways GCC network now covers Jeddah, Kuwait and Doha, and the airline is said to be eyeing additional routes in the region and beyond to add to its growing route network.

Following the first anniversary of the airline’s relaunch on October 10, RAK Airways announced its entry into Pakistan with two flights a week to Peshawar and Lahore.

“With an established network in the GCC, our passengers from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Egypt will be able to take advantage of convenient connections and easy transfers to a number of key GCC cities,” added Jahameh.

Return, all-inclusive fares start at AED 499 to Kuwait and Doha.
