More than a century of international trade has turned this former port town into a vibrant, fast-growing metropolis. The aircraft were greeted in Kano and Port Harcourt by traditional water cannon salutes upon their historic arrival.

In Nigeria, the airline offers double-daily flights to Lagos and now operates daily services to Abuja. The two new routes, (Kano & Port Harcourt), bring the number of flights Qatar Airways operates between Africa and Doha to 188 weekly flights serving 28 destinations across the continent.
