Qatar Airways has inaugurated a new triangular flight route connecting Doha, Bogotá, and Caracas. Operating twice weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays using Boeing 777-200LR aircraft, the service marks the first time a Persian Gulf carrier has established direct connections to Venezuela.

The route is designed to facilitate connections through Hamad International Airport to global markets in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia. To further enhance regional connectivity, Qatar Airways has expanded its partnership with LATAM to include LATAM Airlines Colombia, allowing for codeshare services on flights between Bogotá and domestic Colombian destinations such as Medellín, Cali, and Cartagena.
