Qatar Airways is boosting its connectivity in the Indian Ocean region with the start of a new interline partnership with Maldivian, the national carrier of the Maldives, allowing customers to book flights on both airlines.
Customers planning travel to the Maldives can now make a single booking on both Qatar Airways and Maldivian flights. Once Qatar Airways passengers arrive at Velana International Airport, they will be directed to the domestic terminal to board their flight to the Maldives.
“At Qatar Airways, we continue to expand our services to offer our passengers innovative and engaging travel experiences. With our latest interline partnership with Maldives, we expect our passengers to enjoy a seamless start to their vacation, in addition to benefiting from the plethora of new travel benefits. We are proud to offer the option of a seamless process, allowing passengers to book a ticket that includes both their Qatar Airways flight to Male and the connecting Maldivian flight to their beachside getaway,” said Thierry Antinori, Chief Commercial Officer, Qatar Airways.
“We are delighted to announce our interline partnership with Qatar Airways, through which our customers will experience seamless connectivity with international baggage allowance while traveling within our network of 17 Maldivian destinations. By offering more choice and better access to our strong and growing route network, we aim to drive tourism to the Maldives, showcasing our pristine islands to travelers from around the world,” Ismail Amrah Umar, Chief Commercial Officer, Maldives.
The Qatar Airways-Maldives partnership provides more choice than ever before with competitive airfares and coordinated flight schedules. Travelers can now fly to 17 domestic destinations in the Maldives thanks to a new system that improves international connections.
