The service comes following a three-month exclusive agreement between
the Qatari flag carrier and Todaily of Dubai. Under the deal, respective
publishers send electronic copies of 30 international newspapers in a
number of languages, to Qatar Airways' in-house studio in Doha, where, using the latest digital technology, they are printed in A3 size and wrapped
with a ribbon ready for presentation to passengers.
"Yet again Qatar Airways is focussing on delivering a premium service to its
passengers," said Akbar Al Baker, Chief Executive Officer, Qatar Airways.
Among the Sky Newspapers available on Qatar Airways will be, The Times,
The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The New York Times, Le Figaro, Le
Monde, Frankfurter Allegmeine, Sueddetsche Zeitung, theTimes of India, An
Nahar, Al Hayat and the Shanghai Daily. The selection is in addition to a
range of regional and international daily newspapers currently carried onboard Qatar Airways.
