Fly Qatar Airways™‎

Qatar Airways is the national airline of the State of Qatar and one of the aviation industry’s big success
stories. Operations began in 1994 when the airline was a small regional carrier serving a handful of
routes. The airline was re-launched in 1997 under the mandate of His Highness The Father Emir, Sheikh
Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who 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 the fastest growing carriers in the history of aviation with
unprecedented expansion averaging double digit growth year on year.


The airline has developed under the dynamic leadership of Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr.
Akbar Al Baker, appointed in 1997, who has been instrumental in turning Qatar Airways into an award- winning carrier and the best in the world.

Under Mr. Al Baker’s stewardship, Qatar Airways has matured into a leading force in regional and global
aviation, earning many admirers around the world for its excellent standards of service.


In April 2011, Qatar Airways reached a milestone reaching 100 destinations in its global route map. Two
months later, the airline achieved a remarkable feat, just 14 years after its re-launch, being named Airline
of the Year 2011 at the annual Skytrax World Airline Awards with over 18 million travellers worldwide
casting their votes.


In July 2012, Qatar Airways was once again named Airline of the Year 2012, holding onto its title for the
second consecutive year. Qatar Airways joined oneworld, as of 30 October 2013, with integration into the global alliance completed
within one year of the October 2012 joining announcement. Qatar Airways remains the only Gulf airline
member in any of the big three global alliances.


In 2014 the airline became the global launch customer of the first Airbus A350.


In June 2015, Qatar Airways achieved a major accomplishment receiving the Skytrax Airline of the Year
2015 accolade for a third time.
