Iberia will offer direct flights between Madrid and Doha (Qatar) from December 11 after joining the joint business agreement already signed by its partner IAG groupBritish Airways, and the Qatari airline Qatar Airways, an agreement that covers more than 60 countries.
Iberia and Qatar Airways will jointly offer three frequencies between Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airports and Hamad international airport, which will improve connectivity between Spain and the main markets in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia. The Spanish airline will fly on this route with Airbus A330-200 aircraft with 288 seats.
The incorporation of Iberia into this alliance expands its customers’ options to a greater network of destinations, schedules and fares and offers more possible connections through the ‘hubs’ of Madrid, London and Doha, connecting more than 200 destinations from the three companies.
In addition, within this agreement, customers of the loyalty programs of the three airlines will be able to accumulate and consume Avios on their trips, the common currency for the three companies.
The president and CEO of Iberia, Fernando Candela, has indicated in a press release that they are “very excited” with this new route and with the adhesion to the joint business agreement, which is “excellent news”.
With this, he stressed, the “much desired bridge between Spain and more than 200 destinations in Asia, Australasia, the Middle East and Africa” is being built, adding that Spain is advancing “towards a new model of higher quality tourism”, for which that the route with Doha is “a giant step”.
