Qatar Airways Increases Daily Flights to Penang

Starting October 29, 2023, Qatar Airways is resuming daily flight services to Penang via Phuket, on Boeing 777 aircraft. This exciting development expands travel opportunities for visitors looking to explore the beautiful island of Penang.

Boasting a vibrant cultural landscape, highlighted by the UNESCO-listed George Town, Penang is home to remarkable architecture, temples, mosques, and a diverse culinary scene. Beyond the city, Penang offers tranquil tropical beaches like Batu Ferringhi for water sports and relaxation. At the same time, nature lovers can explore the Penang Botanic Gardens, The Penang Butterfly Farm, and scenic hikes on Penang Hill.

For those wanting to learn about the island’s rich heritage, the Penang Heritage Half-Day Walking Tour immerses visitors in the island’s artistic and cultural treasures by exploring temples churches, food stalls, and some of the history-filled buildings that Penang is known for. 

This expansion of daily flights to Penang follows the increase in daily flights to Kuala Lumpur and enhances Malaysia’s accessibility, with Qatar Airways and Malaysia Airlines providing 28 weekly flights to Malaysia, including 14 jointly operated flights.
