Qatar Airways will codeshare on the seven weekly flights operated by Philippine Airlines in the first phase of the strategic cooperation.
This will provide travellers from the Philippines connectivity to over 170 destinations in the Qatar Airways network, in Africa, the Americas, Central Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
Likewise, Asia bound travellers arriving in Doha on Qatar Airways flights can connect onto Philippine Airlines flights to Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer, Thierry Antinori, said: “We continue to explore opportunities to strengthen our connectivity across the world. This strategic cooperation also aims to deepen the socio-economic ties between the Qatari and Filipino communities.”
The partner airlines will explore further opportunities for long-term collaboration, including promoting additional destinations in their respective networks as well as frequent flyer cooperation.
Philippine Airlines President Captain Stanley K. Ng., said: “As Philippine Airlines expands its presence, we are delighted to forge new alliances that enable us to build new connections.”
The daily nonstop flights will be operated on Philippine Airlines’ long-range Airbus A330-300 aircraft in a dual-class configuration.
