Qatar Airways (QA) has once again been recognised as one of the leading airlines in the world in the recent Conde Nast Traveller ‘Readers Travel Awards’ held in London.
The airline was awarded the coveted ‘Best for Business’ accolade with readers highlighting QA’s industry leading on-board experience and premium lounges. 
Through its network of more than 150 destinations around the globe, QA connects leisure and business passengers with minimal transfer times in the Middle East.
QA provides passengers with an on-board level of comfort for which it is renowned the world over, inclusive of Wi-Fi, a flexible dine-on-demand service in Business Class and the travel advantages bestowed upon it as part of the world’s largest global airline alliance, oneworld. 
“Such an accolade is a direct reflection of our passengers’ satisfaction in the service we provide and we remain committed to providing the very best experience to our guests throughout their journey,” QA Group chief executive Akbar al-Baker said.
He stressed that they continue to set the industry standard in airline travel with their modern fleet, and extensive business and leisure destinations via the Hamad International Airport (HIA).
Contributing to the overall Business Class passenger experience, the airline has in recent years introduced a number of enhancements, including the opening of the world’s largest Business Class lounge, Al Mourjan, at HIA.
Part of these enhancements include a complete revamp of the airline’s in-flight entertainment system, Oryx One, with more than 3,000 entertainment options – the most of any airline, alongside newly-introduced Giorgio Armani amenity kits; new on-board menus and seamless transfers through HIA, one of the world’s newest airport gateways.
QA earlier announced plans to expand its network with new destinations launching this year, including the recent addition of Adelaide, Atlanta, Birmingham, Boston, Los Angeles, Marrakech, Pisa, Ras Al Khaimah, Sydney and Yerevan, and services soon to be launched to Windhoek, Helsinki, Krabi and Seychelles. 
The airline is set to expand further in 2017, and will commence services to Auckland, which will be the world’s longest commercial flight; Lusaka; Skopje and Nice.
