Summary Qatar Airways has 11 routes with fewer than 60 departures between August and December. All are on the Airbus A320 and A330. They include Doha to Toulouse, a route that ends in September after just over one year.
What comes to mind when you think of Qatar Airways ? Perhaps the QSuite, state funding, or a sea of widebodies. What probably does not immediately spring forth is the carrier's least-served routes. It is similar for most airlines.
Perhaps it is because it's less 'sexy,' global-reaching, or involves less shiny aircraft. In Qatar Airways' case, most such services are on the ubiquitous and soon-to-be-retired A320ceo , which is hardly earth-shattering. The new CEO noted that 2024 should have been the date it was phased out, but things have changed a lot in the last few years.
Qatar Airways' least-served routes To get the results, I examined all passenger flights, both non-stop and one-stop, between August and December using OAG data. To be counted, destinations from Doha needed to have no more than 60 departures in the five months. The 11 results are summarized below.
For some routes, it meant summer-seasonal services, for others year-round but low frequency. One route, the only entry to see widebodies, ends soon. Note that some routes sometimes have similar weekly frequencies but do not make it due to exceeding 60 departures in total.
