Qatar Airways will be launching new nonstop flights to CAN-Guangzhou, China from March 30th onwards. It will serve the city 5 times a week nonstop from its Doha hub using an A 332. Flight timings are as follows :
QR 874 Dep DOH 0100 Arr CAN 1405
QR 874 Dep DOH 0100 Arr CAN 1405
QR 877 Dep CAN 2040 Arr DOH 0110+1
Analysis :
Its really pleasing to see QR taking the initiative to go after another niche market in Asia along the similar lines of its flights to CEB & DPS. This is a very good move by QR as it will have a lucrative monopoly for itself on this key route which has a lot of cargo potential as CAN is supposedly the manufacturing capital city of China. None of its Middle Eastern competitors fly to CAN nonstop from their hub airports thus giving QR a competitive edge in this market segment.

Its main competitors on this route are KQ & CZ who offer flights via DXB to CAN nonstop. Obviosuly QR will be targetting a hefty chunk of 6th freedom traffic obtained from UAE, Saudi Arabia, KWI, LHR & Europe to feed the CAN bound flight as its flights are perfectly timed to cater to these markets.
