Qatar Airways has started a major expansion of its online operations in South East Asia and has increased flights to Bali from four times a week to seven times a week via Singapore. It has also upgraded aircraft equipment deployed to the region.

Flights from Singapore, Bali and selected services from Kuala Lumpur have been upgraded with aircraft from the airline’s growing Boeing 777 fleet. Qatar Airways’ Boeing 777s feature 42 horizontal flat-bed seats in Business Class and up to 293 seats in Economy Class.

The airline’s flights from Jakarta to Doha have been de-linked from Singapore and the airline now operates a dedicated non-stop service between the Indonesian and Qatari capital cities.

Qatar Airways’ South East Asian expansion comes following Qatar Airways’ announcement that it will add five new routes to its network in the first half of 2010 in what is shaping up to being one of the airline’s busiest years yet.
