Qatar Airways has announced it is strengthening its operations in the Americas by launching flights to Caracas in Venezuela and Bogotá in Colombia from 22 July 2026, a step that expands the airline's presence in South America and supports air connectivity between the Middle East and the region.
With these operations, Qatar Airways becomes the first Gulf airline to operate flights to Venezuela and the first global airline to operate direct flights between the Middle East and both Bogotá and Caracas, enhancing travel options for passengers to and from the Americas, according to a press release published on the Qatar Airways website.
Qatar Airways will operate two weekly flights to Bogotá and Caracas, every Wednesday and Sunday, on a routing from Doha to Bogotá, then from Bogotá to Caracas, before returning from Caracas to Doha.
According to the schedule, flight QR783 departs Doha for Bogotá at 07:30, arriving at 16:05, then continues from Bogotá to Caracas at 17:35, arriving at 20:40, before departing Caracas for Doha at 22:40 and arriving the next day at 19:55, local time.
The airline noted that the schedule was designed to provide seamless connectivity via Hamad International Airport to key destinations including Australia, China, Japan, Lebanon, South Korea and the UAE, giving travelers greater flexibility and wider travel options across its global network.
With the launch of the new flights, Caracas and Bogotá become the fifteenth and sixteenth destinations in the Americas in Qatar Airways' network, which began operations in South America in 2010 with its first flights to São Paulo in Brazil.
Qatar Airways continues to strengthen global air connectivity through a network of more than 160 destinations during the summer season, while continuing to expand travel options through its hub in Doha.
