Qatar

American Airlines (AA) and Qatar Airways (QR), once fierce rivals in the aviation industry, have now entered into the largest codeshare agreement ever witnessed in the airline business.

July 18, 2023, marks the inauguration of Qatar Airways (QR)’ new direct service, connecting Doha (DOH), Qatar, to Toulouse (TLS), France.

Qatar Airways (QR) Group has released its annual report for 2022/23, showcasing another impressive financial performance and a billion-dollar profit.

Qatar Airways (QF), one of the world’s leading airlines, has successfully landed its inaugural flight to Lyon, the enchanting French city.

In addition, Qatar Airways will be the title partner of the 2022 editions of IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast, IRONMAN Maryland, IRONMAN 70.3 Washington, and IRONMAN 70.3 Western Sydney triathlons and will connect athletes, officials, and fans via Brisbane Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and Sydney Airport, respectively. 

Qatar Airways is bringing Qatar to fans through “The Journey tour,” an engaging bus tour around Europe that offers a few lucky winners a chance to attend the biggest athletic event on earth this winter.

Qatar Airways will operate daily flights to Canberra (CBR) from October 1st, marking the airline’s return to the Australian capital. The carrier last flew to Canberra as a tag-on to its Sydney (SYD) service in 2021.

As the Doha-based airline continues its unrelenting drive toward growth and development, the latest initiative to be declared is a codeshare deal with Airlink of South Africa. Let’s take a closer look at what this deal means for both carriers involved.

On June 9th, an A350-1000 took off and completed its first flight at Airbus facilities in Toulouse, France. The plane, painted in Qatar Airways livery, was indeed ordered by the Middle Eastern carrier. However, it’s uncertain if – and perhaps unlikely that – the airline will ever take delivery of this plane.

The Greek island of Santorini has seen enormous international development, with Middle East flights more than doubling. Qatar Airways has inaugurated Doha to Santorini, one of three destinations now served in Greece, joining routes to Athens and Mykonos. It follows the carrier launching in Mogadishu, Somalia, earlier this month.
