Qatar Airways joined executives from various airlines and airports around the world at the Global Aviation Festival, recently held in London, to showcase its end-to-end customer experience offering.
The event, hosted by Terrapinn, gathered leaders of global aviation companies to discuss key innovations and share ideas on how to boost profits and improve the overall customer experience.
Delegates visiting the event gained knowledge about the latest e-Commerce, customer experience and operational technology that assist airlines and airports in meeting the needs of travellers today, with more than 50 technical demonstrations from some of the leading travel technology companies on display over the two days.
Qatar Airways’ Senior Vice President Customer Experience, Mr. Rossen Dimitrov gave a presentation focusing on the emerging opportunities and challenges faced by the global aviation industry – presenting key innovations behind the design of customer experience across all touch points at Qatar Airways, and how the airline has taken a unique approach to creating a five-star end-to-end travel experience for its passengers.

Representatives in attendance at the Global Aviation Festival included guest speakers from a number of the airlines around the world. Each speaker highlighted important points on the future of air travel and the importance of enabling customers to stay connected via Wi-Fi connectivity on-board the aircraft for the duration of their journey, whether the traveller wants to catch up on e-mails, stream videos or update their blog live on-board the flight.
Qatar Airways has announced an expanded unilateral code-share partnership with JetBlue Airways, adding six new destinations and increasing the number of flights along existing codeshare segments. New routes and flights are now available for travel.
The expanded agreement provides new code-share routes from New York (JFK) to and from United States mainland destinations Albuquerque (ABQ), Daytona Beach (DAB), Reno (RNO) and Savannah (SAV), along with two Puerto Rican destinations, Aguadilla (BQN) and Ponce (PSE).
“We are pleased to deepen our partnership with JetBlue and to give our world travellers superior access to destinations in the United States, through a seamless passenger experience. The strengthening of this code-share agreement comes at a time when Qatar Airways is focused upon significantly expanding its own direct links to the United States, with the launch of non-stop services to Los Angeles, Atlanta and Boston in 2016,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker.
In addition to the new destinations, the partnership will increase the number of codeshare flights along existing routes to Buffalo (BUF), Burlington (BTV), Charleston (CHS), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Fort Myers (RSW), Jacksonville (JAX), New Orleans (MSY), Oakland (OAK), Portland (PWM), Rochester (ROC), Syracuse (SYR) and Tampa (TPA).
The expanded agreement will also include connections to and from Qatar Airways’ second daily Doha to New York flight beginning 1st March 2016. The second daily service will be operated by the airline’s latest flagship Airbus A350 XWB aircraft, of which Qatar Airways was the Global Launch Customer.
This new state-of-the-art aircraft is ergonomically designed to reduce jetlag, aid in relaxation, and increase space and comfort with an extra-wide cabin, high ceilings and panoramic windows. It is also one of the lightest aircraft of its type, made from advanced composite materials, which emits 25% lower carbon dioxide emissions than with current generation aircraft in its category.
