Qatar Airways to launch Bogotá, Colombia, and Caracas, Venezuela, flights in July 2026

Qatar Airways has confirmed it will launch new services to Bogotá and Caracas from July 22, 2026, expanding its presence in the Americas and creating the first direct air links between the Middle East and both capitals.

The new operation will make Qatar Airways the first Gulf carrier to serve Venezuela and the first airline from the Middle East to operate flights to Bogotá and Caracas.

The airline will operate the route twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Sundays, using a triangular routing from Doha to Bogotá and onward to Caracas, with the return sector operating nonstop back to Doha. According to the published schedule, flight QR783 will depart Doha at 07:30, arrive in Bogotá at 16:05 local time, continue to Caracas at 17:35, and depart Venezuela at 22:40 for arrival back in Doha the following evening.

The service is designed to provide onward connections through Hamad International Airport to destinations across Asia, the Middle East and Oceania, including Australia, China, Japan, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates.

The Bogotá and Caracas routes will become Qatar Airways’ 15th and 16th destinations in the Americas. The airline said the expansion reflects its broader strategy to strengthen connectivity between Latin America and the Middle East, while offering new one-stop travel options between South America and Asia.

Qatar Airways had originally announced plans to launch the routes in 2025, but the introduction was delayed before now being confirmed for July 2026.
