Qatar Airways plans to reduce flight frequencies to Zagreb, Belgrade, and Sarajevo during the 2025 summer season, based on recent schedule adjustments, although further changes may still occur. Flights between Doha and Zagreb will drop from ten weekly to daily starting in late March 2025. The three weekly departures at 09:05 from Doha and 15:45 from Zagreb on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays will be discontinued. Between January and September this year, Qatar Airways carried 89,188 passengers on this route, with an average cabin load factor of 86.4%.
The airline will maintain daily flights between Doha and Belgrade for most of next summer but will reduce frequencies to five weekly in May and October. This aligns with broader reductions across Qatar Airways’ European network during those months, affecting cities like Vienna, Rome, Athens, Warsaw, and Zurich. Flights on Tuesdays and Thursdays will not operate from May 1 to May 29 and October 2 to October 23. In the first nine months of 2024, Qatar Airways transported 80,259 passengers on this route, achieving an average load factor of 89.3%.
Seasonal summer services between Doha and Sarajevo will also see reductions. Flights will resume on June 1 with five weekly rotations, consistent with 2024 levels. However, in August, operations will decrease from seven weekly to five, with no flights on Mondays and Wednesdays. Additionally, the Sarajevo route will end on September 14, earlier than this year’s conclusion on September 29. All three routes to former Yugoslavia will continue to use Airbus A320 aircraft.
Qatar Airways is also reducing frequencies to several other European cities, including Sofia, Bucharest, Amsterdam, Oslo, Paris, Prague, and Düsseldorf. Meanwhile, flights to Toulouse, recently suspended, will not resume, EX Yu Aviation news portal writes.
