12th Destination In Saudi Arabia
After announcing an increase in flight frequencies to multiple destinations worldwide a few weeks ago, Qatar Airways is back with another development. The flag carrier of Qatar has confirmed the addition of its 12th destination in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: The Red Sea. In addition to boosting regional connectivity, the new route means Qatar Airways will become the only airline in the world to connect The Red Sea with over 170 global destinations.
What is the Flight Schedule?
Qatar Airways will operate three weekly flights to The Red Sea starting October 21, 2025. The inaugural flight, QR1226, on that day, will depart from Doha to The Red Sea at 09:15 and land at 12:15. The return service, QR1227, will start and conclude its journey at 14:15 and 16:45, respectively.
The airline will operate flights on the said route every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. On all days, Qatar Airways flight QR1226 will depart from Doha at 07:45 and reach its destination, The Red Sea, at 10:45. Those travelling the opposite direction will board flight QR1227, which leaves from The Red Sea at 11:45 and arrives in Doha at 14:15. All times mentioned are local.
What’s Special about The Red Sea?
The Red Sea is home to over 90 unspoiled islands, canyons, ancient landscapes, and one of the largest barrier reefs in the world. It has everything for travellers seeking wellness, adventure, history, and breathtaking getaways. The Red Sea International Airport, inspired by its desert surroundings, launched in 2023. The establishment targets to serve more than a million passengers annually by the end of the decade.
Stay Options?
The Red Sea has five luxury hotels that are functioning and inviting guests. Additionally, Shura Island, essentially the heart of The Red Sea, will start opening the first of its 11 resorts this year, along with an 18-hole championship golf course, culinary and shopping options, cultural programming and more.
