In a significant boost to global connectivity and cultural exchange, Qatar Airways has proudly announced the resumption of its daily service to Osaka, Japan, setting a new benchmark in international travel. This move marks a significant milestone in the airline's operations, offering a direct link between Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Qatar and Kansai International Airport (KIX) in Osaka through a non-stop daily flight.

The service, operated by the state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900, promises a luxurious travel experience with 36 Business Class seats and 247 Economy Class seats, ensuring comfort and elegance for all passengers. Osaka, the gem of Japan’s Kansai region, is celebrated for its unique blend of traditional heritage and modern innovation. From the majestic Osaka Castle to the lively Dotonbori district, the city offers a rich tapestry of experiences, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking the essence of Japan.

Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Thierry Antinori, expressed enthusiasm about the renewed service, highlighting it as a testament to the airline's commitment to the Japanese market and its vision for global connectivity. "This strategic expansion not only reinforces our presence in Japan but also offers travelers a gateway to explore over 170 destinations across our network, including Africa, Europe, and the Middle East," Antinori noted.

The collaboration with Japan Airlines through a codeshare partnership further enhances the connectivity options for travelers, offering seamless domestic travel to 34 destinations within Japan. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to providing passengers with unparalleled service and flexibility, fostering future growth and cooperation between the two leading airlines.

The resumption schedule features daily flights, with QR802 departing from Doha at 01:10 and arriving in Osaka at 16:30, and QR803 leaving Osaka at 18:00 to reach Doha at 00:05 the following day. This schedule is meticulously designed to cater to the convenience of travelers, offering them ample time to explore Osaka or enjoy a stopover in Qatar.

Qatar Airways goes beyond mere transportation by offering enticing stopover packages through Qatar Airways Holidays. These packages range from standard to all-inclusive beach options, allowing travelers to tailor their journey with luxury hotel stays, beach access, and immersive tours, including city and desert explorations.

As Qatar Airways continues to expand its horizons, this service to Osaka not only enhances the travel options for its passengers but also strengthens the cultural and economic ties between Qatar and Japan. With the promise of luxury, convenience, and a gateway to cultural richness, Qatar Airways invites travelers to embark on a journey that transcends borders and creates unforgettable memories.
