Qatar Airways Inks New Interline Partnership Agreement with Interjet
Qatar Airways has partnered with Mexico-based airline Interjet to provide passengers greater connectivity when traveling between Mexico and more than 160 destinations on Qatar Airways’ global network. The new interline agreement, effective immediately, will enable Qatar Airways passengers to travel to and from points in Mexico not served directly by Qatar Airways using a single reservation across both airlines’ networks.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Akbar Al Baker, said, “Qatar Airways is pleased to welcome Interjet as an interline partner. This exciting and strategic agreement broadens both of our airline’s reach to diverse markets, providing passengers with increased convenience and access to more business and leisure destinations all on a single ticket. We are delighted to offer our customers enhanced choice and connectivity when traveling to points in Mexico.”
Interjet's Chief Executive Officer, William Shaw, said, "We are very pleased to announce this important partnership between Interjet Airlines and Qatar Airways. We are committed to offering the finest on-board services and optimal connectivity through the airports of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Miami and Houston, among others. It is a pleasure to enter into partnership with an airline such as Qatar Airways, which cares as we do for offering the highest standards of comfort and quality. For us, it will be an honor to transport Qatar Airways’ passengers to our destinations operated by the world’s most modern fleet of aircraft.”
The new partnership enables Qatar Airways passengers to tap into Interjet’s growing network, including better access to exciting locales such as Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Cancún. Customers based in Mexico will have more seamless travel opportunities to destinations across the Middle East, South Asia, the Far East, East Africa and the Indian Ocean.
Customers will be able to reach these destinations by connecting from Qatar Airways to Interjet via Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), Miami International Airport (MIA), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD).
As part of its continued expansion plans, Qatar Airways will add a number of other new destinations to its extensive route network in 2019, including Izmir, Turkey; Rabat, Morocco; Malta; Davao, Philippines; Lisbon, Portugal; Mogadishu, Somalia and Langkawi, Malaysia.
