Qatar Airways is the national airline of the State of Qatar that began operations in 1994 as a small regional carrier. It was then relaunched in 1997 under the mandate of His Highness The Father Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who was then the Emir of Qatar and outlined a vision to turn Qatar Airways into a leading international airline with the highest standards of service and excellence. Qatar Airways has since become one of world’s leading airlines today, operating one of the youngest fleets in the world.

Qatar Airways’ continued commitment in providing excellence has also led the airline to winning multiple prestigious awards over the years. Most notably, the airline was awarded the ‘World’s Best Airline’ for the unprecedented eighth time at the 2024 World Airline Awards, managed by the international air transport rating organization, Skytrax.

Qatar Airways currently flies to over 170 destinations worldwide, connecting through its Doha hub, Hamad International Airport, the ‘World’s Best Airport’, as voted by Skytrax in 2021, 2022, and 2024. In 2024, Hamad International Airport also received the ‘Best Airport in the Middle East’ accolade for 10 consecutive years, as well as ‘World’s Best Airport Shopping’ for the second year in a row.

Qatar Airways, the national carrier of the State of Qatar, is celebrating 20 years of Going Places Together with travellers. Connecting the world seamlessly remains at the heart of our business. And our expansive network has grown even wider in 2017 with new destinations such as Dublin, Nice, and Prague being inaugurated. This in turn provides even more business and leisure travel destination options for the Asia Pacific market.

Our commitment to delivering only the best for our passengers remains unwavering. We were delighted to unveil our groundbreaking new Business Class seat, Qsuite, in March 2017. Qsuite has revolutionised the onboard Business Class experience and we look forward to having more passengers experience it with us. Passengers across both Premium and Economy cabins can also look forward to further enhancements to their inflight experience such as increased connectivity when on our flights.
