H.E. Mr. Al Baker said: “India is one of the world’s fastest growing economies, having tremendous business opportunities and huge potential, making it a significant market for Qatar Airways. The country continues to show strong economic growth and an increasing demand for airtravel to and from all corners of the globe. The aviation industry contributes significantly to India’s prosperous tourism sector and more liberal air service access is required for the tourism industry to develop even further.
“As a significant contributor to this ongoing development Qatar Airways will remain committed to providing award-winning service, superior on-board products and seamless connections to our expansive network.
