PHUKET: Qatar Airways will expand and strengthen its first and business class offerings with the addition of Phuket to the airline's Thailand routes. The daily service to and from Doha starts October 12.

This is a major advance for Qatar, which will put the carrier into closer competition with the Middle Eastern giants who also offer first and business class services to Thailand, particularly Emirates and Etihad Airways.

The route will fly through Kuala Lumpur and will make Qatar the first Middle East airline to fly to Phuket without transiting Bangkok.
