Qatar Airways welcomes the Holy Month of Ramadan with bespoke treats for passengers onboard and at Hamad International Airport (HIA).
The airline’s cabin crew will announce the ‘Maghrib’ prayer time onboard and will invite passengers to enjoy their Iftar meal together.
Passengers will be presented with a specially-designed Iftar treat that includes a selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian wraps, a sweet box with traditional Arabic desserts, dates, fresh laban and a water bottle.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “Ramadan is a special time for many of our passengers, and we would like to take this opportunity to embrace the unity that comes with the traditions of this Holy Month.
“As the World’s Best Airline, it is important for us to provide a customised service that caters to the needs of fasting travellers, and going the extra mile to ensure their journey is seamless.
“On behalf of Qatar Airways, I wish you all a blessed Ramadan.”
The treats were designed to embrace the spirit of the Holy Month, and feature Arabic calligraphy writing, wishing passengers ‘Ramadan Kareem’.
All passengers will be served an Iftar treat when travelling on select routes across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Indian subcontinent.
Travelling between time zones can be challenging for the fasting traveller; the Qatar Airways cabin crew will make an announcement and serve the Iftar treats at the time of breaking the fast.
Throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan, passengers can enjoy the airline’s Islamic collection on Oryx One Inflight Entertainment System (IFE).
They can listen to the Quran or enjoy watching different Islamic programmes on the Islam and Life Channel, with more than 700 new entertainment options added to Oryx One.
Passengers transiting via Doha can continue their spiritual rites at Al Safwa First Class Lounge and Al Mourjan Business Lounge, where the call to prayer will be announced and guests can utilise the readily available prayer rooms.
Qatar Airways premium lounges offer a selection of traditional Ramadan favourites over and above an already extensive menu.
HIA also has 16 spacious prayer rooms with dedicated ablution facilities, and more than 30 restaurants and cafés including Harrods Tea Room, Armani Ristorante and Evergreens Organics.
