Qatar Airways launches all-first class service from Doha to Jeddah

Qatar Airways launched a new daily All-First Class service from its hub in Doha to Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on June 17 to coincide with the start of Ramadhan. With the additional daily flight, services to Jeddah have gone from double-daily flights to triple-daily flights.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Akbar Al Baker, said: “The demand for premium group travel continues to grow especially during the Ramadhan season, and therefore we have introduced this All-Premium A319 to Jeddah, further strengthening Qatar Airways’ position as a five-star airline providing the best First and Business Class service in the industry.”

The Airbus A319 aircraft, which is fitted with a single aisle, two-by-two seating configuration with 40 seats, will enable passengers to experience the comfort of a private jet complemented by Qatar Airways’ five-star hospitality. Passengers on the A319 All-First Class flight are eligible to visit the Al Mourjan Business Lounge at Doha’s Hamad International Airport.
