Qatar Airways is pleased to announce a codeshare partnership with Air Botswana, offering Qatar Airways travellers enhanced access to three key destinations in Botswana, Africa.
Partnerskabet med Air Botswana, det nationale flyselskab i Botswana, vil give Qatar Airways passagerer forbindelser til Botswana-byerne Gaborone, Francistown og Maun via Qatar Airways 'Sydafrika-gateway Johannesburg. Qatar Airways kører dobbeltdagsflyvninger mellem Johannesburg og dets avancerede knudepunkt, Hamad International Airport i Doha, med videreflyvninger til mere end 150 destinationer over hele verden.
The new codeshare agreement allows business and leisure travellers fast and convenient access to the home of Botswana’s rich mineral industry, abundant game reserves, and luxury safari lodges. Botswana’s luxurious tourism experiences are complemented by Qatar Airways’ ultra-modern fleet of aircraft featuring the world’s best Business Class on services to South Africa.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “Our new codeshare agreement with Air Botswana will offer even greater opportunities for passengers from across our global network, especially from key markets in Europe and Asia to easily connect with popular destinations in Botswana, to take advantage of exclusive leisure experiences.
“Codeshare partnerships and airline alliances continue to play an important role for Qatar Airways. We are committed to serving the travel needs of the African market and the addition of Air Botswana flights to Qatar Airways’ route network is an important expansion of our network.”
Den sydafrikanske region er et vigtigt marked for Qatar Airways med tre destinationer i Sydafrika inklusive Johannesburg, Cape Town og Durban og mod øst Maputo i Mozambique. Ekspansion i denne region er et nøglefokus for Qatar Airways, der har lanceret tjenester til den namibiske hovedstad Windhoek den 28. september med Lusaka i Zambia at følge, og genoptagelsen af tjenester til Seychellerne i december 2016.
Air Botswana’s Acting General Manager, Ms. Agnes Khunwana, said: “We are delighted to join forces with a renowned global airline like Qatar Airways to launch codeshare services to a number of Botswana cities. This partnership provides Qatar Airways’ passengers with easy and direct access to a number of key business and high-end leisure destinations across Botswana while providing easy access to Qatar Airways’ global network for the people of Gaborone, Francistown and Maun when booking directly with Qatar Airways. We look forward to working closely with Qatar Airways into the future.”
