Since July 22, 2026, Qatar Airways has operated the Doha–Bogotá–Caracas route twice a week —Wednesdays and Sundays— with flight QR783: departing Doha at 7:30, arriving in Bogotá at 16:05 and in Caracas at 20:40; the return departs Caracas at 22:40 and arrives in Doha at 19:55 the next day. It is the first Gulf carrier to operate flights to Venezuela and the first to offer a Middle East connection to Caracas, with onward links through Hamad International Airport to markets such as Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates. Caracas and Bogotá are the airline's 15th and 16th destinations in the Americas. For agencies, Venezuela enters the sales systems of entirely new source markets. Ikiratours, Venezuela's 100% B2B DMC and inbound wholesaler, coordinates inbound operations for these flows.
What it means for your agency
Until July, selling Venezuela to a client in Asia or Oceania was an exercise in creativity involving three or four flights. With Qatar, the journey is built on a single ticket with one stop in Doha, and the profile this route brings is long-haul, high-spend: exactly the one that pairs best with Los Roques and Canaima. For European agencies, the route also adds a connection alternative beyond the traditional ones. The practical read: Venezuela can now appear in long-haul proposals that used to be discarded on logistics alone.
