  • Qatar to Introduce All Nonstop Flights to Zagreb and Sofia Stop to Belgrade
    Qatar to introduce all nonstop flights to Zagreb and Sofia stop to Belgrade Qatar Airways will be modifying its services to the former Yugoslavia next year with changes in operations to both its Zagreb Croatia and Belgrade Serbia flights. The Qatari carrier, which launched services from Doha to Zagreb via Budapest in 2012, will now operate all of its flights to the Croatian capital nonstop. A total of five weekly rotations are planned starting March 1, 2015, down from the current seven, with four flights presently operating via the Hungarian capital and decreasing to three from December 14. As a result, Zagreb Airport will no longer be linked to Budapest. Qatar Airways holds fifth freedom rights between Budapest and Zagreb and vice versa, which allows the airline to sell tickets on the short segment as well. It will be the first time since the demise of Malev Hungarian Airlines two years ago that there will be no links between the two capital cities. The Hungarian carrier operated up to eighteen weekly flights on the route at the time of its collapse. Qatar’s nonstop flights to Zagreb, which were launched prior to the start of the 2014/15 winter season, are a testament to the route’s success since it was inaugurated just over two years ago. Flights to the Croatian capital have proved popular with tourists transiting through Doha from the Far East. Furthermore, the route also provides good connections for passengers heading from Zagreb to South East Asia and Australia. Earlier, the CEO of Qatar Airways, Akbar Al Baker, said, “Whether it’s Bangkok, Dubai, Shanghai or Manila, our seamless connections from Zagreb to the East, via our Doha hub, will provide holidaymakers and business travellers from Croatia with a wider network of destinations to choose from”.

  • Qatar Airways Announces Phased Rebuilding of Network to an Initial 52* Destinations by End of May and 80* in June
    Qatar Airways Announces Phased Rebuilding of Network to an Initial 52* Destinations by End of May and 80* in June Airline will gradually reinstate suspended destinations and additional frequencies in line with expected relaxation of entry restrictions around the world with a focus on key global destinations and partner hubs 06 May 2020 Doha, Qatar – Qatar Airways is pleased to announce the airline will begin a phased approach to expanding its network in line with passenger demand evolution and the expected relaxation of entry restrictions around the world. Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker said: “Throughout this crisis our passengers have been at the centre of our focus. Our airline has implemented industry-leading hygiene practices and commercial policies enabling our passengers to book and travel with confidence. We have maintained a flexible and agile network to help take over 1 million people home through our state of the art hub in Doha and to transport more than 100,000 tonnes of essential medical and aid supplies to where they are needed. “As we follow the indicators of the global travel market on a daily basis, we continue to focus on our mission - how we can enable mobility for our customers and provide them with seamless connectivity to their final destination. We have built a strong level of trust with passengers, governments, trade and airports as a reliable partner during this crisis and we intend to continue delivering on this mission as we gradually expand our network.” While the situation remains hugely dynamic, Qatar Airways has made a number of assumptions based on its unique perspective, having been one of the only carriers to operate globally in recent months.

  • Understanding the Strategy Used by Leading Airlines a Case Study of Qatar Airways
    Understanding the strategy used by leading airlines A case study of Qatar Airways LAB University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of International business 2021 Zijian Wang Abstract Author(s) Publication type Completion year Zijian Wang Thesis 2021 Number of pages 37 Title of the thesis Understanding the strategy used by leading airlines A case study of Qatar Airways Degree Bachelor degree Name, title and organisation of the client International business. Abstract The current competitive business environment require continuous improvement to remain either on top of other rivals or to cope with the rising demands. One of the areas that international industry focus on is the marketing strategies across the globe. These marketing strategies can be studied from the leading and fast growing interna- tional business. For this project, the researcher selected airlines as the benchmark due to the volatility and the importance of the industry to other international business. Moreover, a case study of Qatar Airways was ideal since the firm ranked best and was still fast growing compared to all other leading airlines. Two research questions were identified in this study. The first one was the investigation of the most pro- nounced marketing strategy that has facilitated the aggressive growth of Qatar Air- ways. The second was how the consumers responded to Qatar Airways’ schemes to enhance its recognition as a fast-growing network connecting people to important destinations. The results from the case analysis have addressed these questions ad- equately. They indicate that Qatar Airways has majored on three strategies to facili- tate its aggressive global expansion. The first one is the acquisition of stakes in air- lines and airline groups.
