Qatar Airways Showcases Ties with Turkey in High-Tech Port

Doha, October 08 (QNA) - Qatar Airways has showcased the airline's network connections with Turkey as part of the 19th International Business Forum (IBF) and High-Tech Port Exhibition, which conclude Thursday in Doha. Qatar Airways took part in a panel discussion on the development of the Turkey-Qatar technical partnership in civil aviation, while the airline's A380 first class seat was on full display. The seat, which features a 90-inch seat pitch that transforms into a fully-flat bed, together with an expansive choice of entertainment options displayed on an individual 26-inch television screen, provided visitors at the exhibition with an opportunity to sample a taste of Qatar Airways' premium on-board features. "Qatar Airways' services to Turkey have enjoyed exceptional popularity since their launch, to the point where we now fly to three separate gateways, non-stop, from our hub and home, Hamad International Airport in Doha," Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said. "This growing demand for high connectivity from passengers between Turkey and Qatar demonstrates the strengthening ties between our two countries and the importance of exhibitions such as this, which provide the ideal opportunity for businesses to network within the growing technology sector," he added. Qatar Airways currently operates to three destinations in Turkey; Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport (double daily), Istanbul Ataturk Airport (10 flights a week) and Ankara (six weekly flights). Qatar Airways has seen rapid growth in just 18 years of operation and today flies a modern fleet of 166 aircraft to 152 key business and leisure destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America. More than 50 companies took part in the exhibition at the Qatar National Convention Center from October 6-8, enhancing relationships between businesses in Turkey and their GCC and Qatari counterparts, while highlighting the growing demand for high-tech equipment in the Middle East region.
