Major Airline Unlocks 17 Destinations Across Colombia

Long-haul flights can do more than connect two cities. A service that calls at multiple destinations can offer travelers different options, but it also makes the order of stops and connection times important before booking.

Qatar Airways has added a new link between the Middle East and two South American capitals.

The launch also comes with an expanded airline partnership that could help passengers continue to other parts of Colombia after reaching Bogotá.

The airline publishes the following schedule, with departure and arrival times shown in each airport’s local time:

• Doha to Bogotá: Departs 7:35 a.m.; arrives 4:25 p.m.

• Bogota to Caracas: Departs 5:55 p.m.; arrives 9 p.m.

• Caracas to Doha: Departs 11:30 p.m.; arrives 8:35 p.m. the following day.

The itinerary is a circuit. Passengers traveling from Doha to Caracas first pass through Bogotá, while the listed return leg runs from Caracas to Doha.

Qatar says the new destinations bring its total in the Americas to 17, with the airline identifying them as its 16th and 17th markets in the region.

The route also gives Qatar Airways passengers more options for reaching destinations beyond Bogotá.

The destinations include Cartagena, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla, Pereira, Santa Marta and San Andrés Island, among others. The additional connections could help visitors build itineraries that combine Bogotá with Colombia’s Caribbean coast, major cities and regional destinations.

Qatar Airways says passengers can also connect through Hamad International Airport in Doha to destinations including Australia, China, Japan, Lebanon, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates. Its winter network covers more than 170 destinations.

US State Department Maintains Level 3 Reconsider Travel Advisory

The new service adds an airline connection to Caracas, but it does not change U.S. entry or safety requirements.

The U.S. Department of State’s Venezuela advisory remains at Level 3, or “Reconsider Travel,” citing risks including crime, kidnapping, terrorism, health infrastructure, and natural disasters. The advisory is dated June 27, 2026.

The department also says U.S. citizens need a Venezuelan visa before arrival. Visas are not available at the airport, and travelers without valid documentation risk being refused entry, expelled, or detained.

Passengers can check schedules and make bookings through Qatar Airways’ website or its mobile app.
