Qatar Airways has received three prestigious honours at the 2016 Travel Weekly Magellan Awards held in New York recently. Gold, the highest honour, was awarded to Qatar Airways for its International Business Class experience on the A350 aircraft, and Silver was awarded for its International Economy Class as well as its A350 and Going Places Together brand campaign.
Qatar Airways was the global launch customer of the A350, Airbus’ latest, most technologically advanced aircraft in the world, and currently operates 12 in its fleet of more than 190 aircraft. Qatar Airways was the first to fly the A350 to three continents, and currently operates the aircraft from Doha to Boston, New York, and Philadelphia in the United States.
“We are thrilled to be honoured by the panel of experts gathered by Travel Weekly, and we are deeply appreciative of this recognition by our industry’s experts," said Salam Al Shawa, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications, Qatar Airways. "Qatar Airways brand campaign, Going Places Together, reflects the attitude we bring to the travel experience – we want to be part of our passengers’ journey, to experience the transformative power of travel with them. It is truly an honour to be recognised by your peers, and I extend my congratulations to the other award winners this year," added Al Shawa.
Qatar Airways introduced its new brand campaign, Going Places Together, in New York in December 2015, to rave reviews; culminating with this most recent Travel Weekly Magellan Silver Award.
