Qatar Airways’ Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, introduced a significant network expansion of 14 new destinations last week at ITB Berlin – the world’s largest international travel fair.

Spread across four continents, the new routes will further expand the reach of the airline’s network, and will include the world’s longest flight, between Doha and Auckland, New Zealand.

Five new European destinations for Qatar Airways include Pisa, Italy, starting on Aug. 2. It will be the fourth Italian destination for Qatar, joining Venice, Rome and Milan.
