Qatar Airways official airline for World Travel India

Qatar Airways will be the official carrier of the World Travel India, India's first major international travel and tourism exhibition, taking place in Mumbai from February 5-8, 2004.

Apart from having been awarded the privilege of being the official carrier for the exhibition, Qatar Airways will also be participating in the trade fair, with the airline's Chief Executive Officer Mr. Akbar Al Baker giving a presentation on the opening day.

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Al Baker said: "Qatar Airways has very strong links with India, and we are very excited about playing such a major role in this important travel and tourism exhibition.

"We were one of the first Middle Eastern exhibitors to commit our support to this event with a large presence. 

"We have designed a new 110 square metre stand especially for the WTI, with a cutting edge modern design and a large friendly area for promoting Qatar Airways and its superb services.

"It is important to us that we are building on our already strong relationship with India and its people.

"Qatar Airways has 28 services to India each week and is flying daily to each one of its four destinations: Kochi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Trivandrum.

"Qatar Airways is acting as a link between travellers from India wanting to come and visit Qatar and the Middle East, but we also bring tourists from Europe and the Middle East, who want to explore the amazing sights of India," Mr. Al Baker said.
