In The News Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 DALLAS – British Airways (BA) and Qatar Airways (QR) have completed the most recent phase of their partnership’s growth, providing worldwide connectivity between more countries than any other airline joint venture. Passengers now have improved access between locations in Europe and the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Oceania thanks to the airlines’ addition of 42 more nations to their common network, including Italy, the Maldives, Norway, Singapore, and Sweden. Additionally, customers will now have more alternatives for rates and timetables, including direct flights and connections through hubs in London and Doha. All of this is a part of BA and QR’s strategy to “Move Further Together,” which includes expanding their shared network and giving customers the best of both carriers. The extension will make it possible to travel seamlessly between Doha and London on a single ticket, increasing the total number of destinations served by the two airlines to 185 in more than 60 countries. So far, no other alliance or joint venture offers the exclusive access that the complementary networks have to dozens of nations.
