Becoming a global player |
Upwards and Onwards
Despite its position as the World’s Best Airline, Qatar
Airways has no plans to slow its pace of growth or
development.
Qatar Airways will continue its robust expansion, adding
a host of exciting destinations to its extensive global route
network during 2018. Throughout the remainder of 2017
alone, the airline will begin services to Sarajevo (Bosnia
and Herzegovina), Adana (Turkey) and Chiang Mai
(Thailand).
In recent months Qatar Airways, in partnership with
Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA), announced an initiative
to introduce a new, free transit visa programme. Allowing
stopover passengers to experience Qatar and its many
cultural highlights, it further supports the country’s rapidly-
growing tourism industry.
Life is a journey, not a destination
In 2014, Qatar Airways became the first airline to launch
the Airbus A350. Qatar Airways will continue to set a
global benchmark for the industry by adding to its ultra-
modern fleet of the most technologically advanced aircraft
in the sky.
Qatar Airways recently launched a new Business Class
seat, Qsuite, the world’s first double bed available in
Business Class. With privacy panels that stow away it
allows passengers in adjoining seats to create their own
private cabin, revolutionising premium travel by bringing
the First Class experience to Business Class.
