    Qatar flights to deliver $198m for NZ economy
    
    Auckland Airport has welcomed the announcement by Qatar Airways that it will
    start a daily service between Doha and Auckland in December 2016. The service
    will operate using a B777 aircraft.
    
    Norris Carter, Auckland Airport's general manager - aeronautical commercial,
    says, "We are delighted by the news that Qatar Airways will start flying to
    New Zealand later this year, and that the airline has chosen Auckland Airport
    to be its destination."
    
    "Qatar Airways currently flies 177 aircraft to more than 150 destinations
    across six continents. The addition of Auckland to its global network is part
    of the airline's latest route expansion programme, which includes 14 new
    destinations in Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific."
    
    Auckland Airport estimates that the new daily service will deliver an
    additional 189,070 seats to the route and contribute $198 million to the New
    Zealand economy.
    
    "We expect this new route to New Zealand to be very popular with European
    travellers, providing them with a high quality in-flight service and a great
    transit experience through the new Hamad International Airport."
    
    "The flight from Auckland to Doha will also be the world's longest commercial
    flight by distance," says Mr Carter.
