The ever-growing Gulf carrier will operate the route five-weekly utilising a Boeing B787 Dreamliner on the sector.

Qatar Airways Group chief executive, Akbar Al Baker said: “We are tremendously excited to launch direct services to the beautiful city of Gothenburg, a key new addition to our European network.
