Qatar Airways has announced a new partnership with Madrid Destino, the tourism board of Madrid, Spain.
The partnership is a strategic move to support tourism growth to the city.
Signed on November 25 this year, the partnership is set to run until March 31, 2022, which include promotions of destination to key markets across the globe through a series of joint initiatives.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said: “We invite everyone to experience Madrid’s lively city that makes one passionate about travelling again. The Spanish city is famous for its rich and varied heritage, as well as its world-class crafts and artisans”.
Héctor Coronel, director of Tourism at Madrid City Council, said: “The signing of this agreement not only marks a milestone in our relations with Qatar Airways, which has been operating in Madrid since 2005, it also enables us to strengthen our tourism relations with the Middle East, one of our main strategic markets.
“The connectivity campaign that Madrid City Council’s Tourism Department and the Qatari airline are running in Qatar and the UAE is aimed at a segment that has a significant economic impact on Madrid. This joint initiative will enable us to promote the city’s outstanding tourist resources and new openings with a view to encouraging visitors with high purchasing power to travel to the city of Madrid.”
Qatar Airways operates 14 weekly flights to Madrid. The airline has recently launched its new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner passenger aircraft, featuring its eagerly awaited new Business Class Suite on a number of key routes to Europe including Madrid.
The ultramodern aircraft has a total passenger capacity of 311 seats – 30 Business Class Suites and 281 seats in Economy Class.
