DOHA: Qatar Airways has strengthened its relationship with oneworld member S7 Airlines, with the implementation of additional code-share routes across its network. The expansion of this agreement will now enable Qatar Airways passengers to travel to additional destinations.
Qatar Airways first launched a code-share agreement with S7 Airlines late last year, allowing Qatar Airways’ passengers travelling from Doha to be able to connect onto destinations with S7 Airlines including Chelyabinsk, Kazan, Omsk, Perm, Rostov, Saint Petersburg, Samara, Sochi, Tyumen and Yekaterinburg.
Likewise, S7 Airlines’ passengers can book from Moscow to Colombo (Sri Lanka), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Hong Kong, Phnom Penh (Cambodia) and Phuket (Thailand) via Doha.
The expansion of this agreement with S7 Airlines will now enable Qatar Airways passengers travelling to Moscow to travel onwards to the additional destinations of Abakan, Anapa, Barnaul, Bratsk, Chita, Irkutsk, Kaliningrad, Kemerovo, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, Nizhnekamsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Novokuznetsk, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Ufa, Ulan Ude, Volgograd, Voronezh and Yakutsk (Russia), all under one unified code.
“It has been a period of rapid expansion for Qatar Airways, with new route launches around the globe and significant fleet growth. The further addition of these code-share routes, with oneworld member S7 Airlines, provides our passengers with an enhanced and unrivalled global network and enhances our competitive offering,” said Akbar Al Baker, Group Chief Executive, Qatar Airways.
The code-share expansion follows a period of major route and fleet expansion for Qatar Airways, which has seen the recent addition of 12 new destinations to the airline’s route network.
The five-star airline now offers its passengers a choice of 146 key business and leisure locations around the globe.
