Qatar, Philippines agree to increase Doha–Manila flights

The State of Qatar and the Republic of the Philippines have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at strengthening air transport rights between the two countries and expanding opportunities for cooperation in this vital field. The MoU stipulates an increase in the number of designated air carriers from the two countries to 28 passenger flights per week in each direction between Doha and Manila, in addition to increasing the capacity allocated for air cargo.

The MoU was signed by Mr. Mohammed bin Faleh Al-Hajri, who is in charge of the Authority's work, on behalf of the Qatari side, and Mr. Carmelo L. Urcella, Executive Director of the Philippine Civil Aviation Council.

This MoU opens new horizons for cooperation in the field of air transport, which will positively reflect on the economic, investment and trade activities of both countries, and contribute to expanding travel options between them, through Doha and other destinations.

This step comes in line with the Authority's strategy and as part of its efforts to develop air transport rights with its international partners and enhance cooperation opportunities in line with the developments of the aviation sector and support its growth.
