When Qatar Airways first established flights to Mykonos, Greece in May 2018, the route proved to be very popular with travelers. However, it was short-lived as the global pandemic hit, forcing operation to shut down temporarily.
As Greece prepares to welcome guests to their beautiful shores once again, Qatar Airways announces resumption of flights to Mykonos from May 14 onwards, supporting the nation’s efforts to restart tourism. The airline is planning to operate three flights a week, connecting Mykonos to over 35 cities in Asia and Middle East using a modern A320 aircraft featuring 12 seats in Business Class and 120 seats in Economy Class.
“We know the authorities in Greece are taking precautions to ensure public safety and visitors will be required to adhere to public health measures put in place in view of the pandemic. Equally we will be maintaining our own very high standards.” says His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Chief Executive of Qatar Airways Group. This comment reflects on the airline being the first in the world to achieve the prestigious 5-Star COVID-19 Airline Safety Rating by Skytrax.
He also added, “We look forward to continuing to provide the safest possible experience for travellers across the world, and expanding upon our role in assisting the recovery of the commercial aviation industry.”
Qatar Airways flight schedule to Mykonos is planned as follows:
Flights every Monday, Friday, Saturday
Doha (DOH) to Mykonos (JMK) QR311 departs: 07:30 arrives: 12:05 -
Mykonos (JMK) to Doha (DOH) QR312 departs: 13:05 arrives: 17:05
The national carrier of the State of Qatar currently flies to over 130 destinations worldwide, rebuilding its network with increased frequency to key hubs. Qatar Airways’ unrivaled connectivity is also complimented by the great flexibility they allow on changing travel dates and destinations as required by passengers in these times of uncertainty.
Speaking about this recent announcement, The Greek Minister for Tourism, Harry Theoharis expressed his delight in welcoming back Qatar Airways to Mykonos. “It is very pleasing for us to have our luxury destination included in the planning of the airline’s new summer program. In this difficult time, this development comes when all of our efforts have been put into the safe opening of Greek tourism.”
