Qatar Airways announced an early launch of operations of its direct scheduled connection between Prague and Doha, the capital of Qatar. The carrier originally planned to launch the service during the 2018 summer season, but the first flight on the route will happen this year, on Monday, 21 August 2017. The route will then be operated on a daily basis. This is the result of intensive negotiations between the carrier and Prague Airport representatives carried out all last year.

The project aims to accelerate the completion of the existing roads and the construction of new 644 km of motorways and 1,274 km of large-capacity roads, because a high-quality transport infrastructure is key to ensuring the prosperity of the Czech Republic.
