Qatar Airways arrives in Gaborone, Botswana, for first time
Earlier at Sir Seretse Khama International Airport, the first Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Gaborone, Botswana, touched down. On arrival, Botswana vice president Slumber Tsogwane and transport and communications minister Thulagano Segokgo welcomed the flight.
The airline operates a three-time weekly service to Botswana’s capital city and is the only non-African airline to fly to the region. Chief Executive of the Qatar Airways Group, Akbar Al Baker, said: “I am delighted to add Gaborone to our global network of more than 160 destinations.” Qatar Airways is committed to expanding its network in Africa, and this new route–our 23rd continent destination –is another step towards achieving this goal.
