Qatar Airways (QA) enhanced its presence in Southern Africa with the launch of a new linked service between Doha and Lusaka, Zambia and Harare. To mark this milestone, the new linked service was inaugurated by the airline’s state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900 featuring 36 seats in the award-winning Qsuite Business Class and 247 seats in Economy Class. Qatar Airways now operates to Lusaka’s Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN). The country’s largest city and commercial centre, Lusaka is the gateway to experiencing Zambia’s legendary tourist attractions - from the Victoria Falls which it shares with Zimbabwe, to game reserves and a variety of wildlife. Meanwhile, Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, served via Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport (HRE), is also a destination with rich culture, World Heritage–listed archaeological sites, and diverse natural landscapes. page 16
