Qatar Airways has officially inaugurated its new triangular flight route connecting Doha, Bogotá, and Caracas. The inaugural flight landed at Maiquetía International Airport on Wednesday, marking the first time a Persian Gulf carrier has established direct connections to Venezuela.

The route is designed to facilitate seamless connections at Hamad International Airport to major global destinations in Asia, Africa, and Europe, including China, Japan, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates.
