Qatar Airways launches a new route to Bogota and Caracas starting July 22, 2026, operating twice weekly on Boeing 777-200LR to manage payload constraints

## Summary

Qatar Airways will launch service to Bogota, Colombia (BOG) and Caracas, Venezuela (CCS) starting July 22, 2026. The route operates twice weekly (Wednesdays and Sundays) using a Boeing 777-200LR. The flight path goes from Doha (DOH) to Bogota, then via Caracas on the return to Doha. This stop in Caracas is necessary because Bogota's high altitude restricts payload for a nonstop flight to Doha. The route adds two new destinations to Qatar's Americas network, joining Sao Paulo. This provides an alternative for travelers avoiding US transit visas
