Qatar Airways and Iberia strengthen strategic partnership
Qatar Airways further expands its strategic partnerships signing an expanded codeshare agreement with Iberia.
The agreement will enhance connectivity between the two airlines’ complementary networks and will offer additional travel options to our customers traveling between the Iberian Peninsula, Latin America, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East via the Best Airport in the Middle East, Hamad International Airport.
Sales of the added destinations have commenced already with the additional codeshare flights starting from today.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “We are pleased to further expand our codeshare cooperation with Iberia, Spain’s largest carrier and the leading airline connecting Europe with Latin America. Despite the challenges of 2020, it has been our priority to maintain reliable global connectivity for our passengers”.
“This expansion of our strategic partnership with Iberia further strengthens connectivity between the hubs of Doha and Madrid ensuring more flexible travel options for our customers. Qatar Airways and Iberia have enjoyed the mutual benefits our partnership has brought us since its establishment in 2017, providing more choice and seamless global connectivity for our millions of passengers. As global travel recovers, we look forward to further expanding our commercial cooperation with Iberia and continuing to provide the unrivalled five-star service our passengers have come to expect.”
The expanded commercial cooperation will increase the number of destinations available to Iberia passengers from 29 to 36 on Qatar Airways’ network, including new destinations in Angola, Australia, Mozambique, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Qatar Airways passengers will also benefit from additional connectivity, with the ability to book travel to and from an additional four destinations on Iberia’s network in Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Senegal.
As oneworld alliance partners, Qatar Airways Privilege Club and Iberia Plus members have ensured recognition of their tier status with benefits including access to lounges worldwide, through check-in, extra baggage allowance, priority check-in, and boarding plus accrual and redemption of miles, across the partner carriers’ networks.
With more frequencies being added to key hubs, Qatar Airways offers unrivaled connectivity to passengers, making it easy for them to change their travel dates or destination if they need to.
When traveling with Qatar Airways in 2021, passengers can expect the highest levels of safety throughout their journey.
Qatar Airways currently operates more than 800 weekly flights to over 110 destinations across the globe. By the end of March 2021, Qatar Airways plans to rebuild its network to 129. Many cities will be served with a strong schedule with daily or more frequencies.
