Qatar Airways is the national airline of the State of Qatar and

one of the aviation industry’s big success stories. Operations

began in 1994 when the airline was a small regional carrier
serving a handful of routes. The airline was re-launched in 1997
under the mandate of His Highness The Father Emir, Sheikh
Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who outlined a vision to turn
Qatar Airways into a leading international airline with the
highest standards of service and excellence. Qatar Airways has
since become one of the fastest growing carriers in the history of
aviation with unprecedented expansion averaging double digit
growth year on year. In April 2011, Qatar Airways reached a
milestone reaching 100 destinations in its global route map. Two
months later, the airline achieved a remarkable feat, just 14
years after its re-launch, being named Airline of the Year 2011
at the annual Skytrax World Airline Awards with over 18
million travellers worldwide casting their votes. In July 2012,
Qatar Airways was once again named Airline of the Year 2012,
holding onto its title for the second consecutive year. In June
2015, Qatar Airways achieved a major accomplishment
receiving the Skytrax Airline of the Year 2015 accolade for a
third time. 2016 to date has seen another year of notable
expansion for the leading airline. Qatar Airways won World's
Best Business Class; Best Business Class Airline Lounge and
Best Airline Staff Service in the Middle East at the Skytrax
technology, which will provide minute by minute tracking
capabilities. The airline’s annual revenue has increased by 10.4
per cent in the fiscal year 2017 (April 1st 2016 to March 31st
2017) revealing a 21.7 per cent year-on-year net profit increase.
