Doha: Qatar Airways and Vueling have signed an agreement that will enable Qatar’s national airline to increase the number of passengers to Europe while strengthening Vueling’s hubs in Rome and Barcelona.
The agreement, which came into effect on September 1, 2014, will also improve trans-European traffic by providing passengers with an even greater range of options for long-haul connections, according to a Qatar Airways press release issued yesterday.
Barcelona’s El Prat Airport is Vueling’s main hub, where the company holds 38 percent market share, and from which the airline offers direct flights to 121 destinations and up to 11,000 connections across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Additionally, Vueling offers 40 direct routes from Fiumicino Airport in Rome, the company’s second operational hub, as well as 850 possible connections to destinations across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. THE PENINSULA
