Qatar flights to Brazil

Apparently QA will be flying to GIG very soon, still in 2008. This information was posted on a major Brazilian newspaper around 3 weeks ago. I do know about the extra EK flight to GRU which will probably start in july, however I have not heard anything about a DXB-GIG route. This would be a great opportunity for EK to gain business in Latin America, considering that the Rio de Janeiro state, where GIG is located is a major oil exploring and business destination. A good hub for those trying to reach the city and the region.

Emirates have an interest in a DXB-GIG service with possible extension onwards to EZE. Flights rumoured to be operated by A340-500. However, these are all tied up in Oz so no such flights will occur until Feb 2009 at the earliest when A380s begin flying the SYD-AKL route.

I see this starting daily sometime in 2009 then going double daily by the end of the year.
Wait for news from the East, my friend...
