Today marks a significant milestone as Qatar Airways welcomes Iberia’s inaugural non-stop flight from Madrid, Spain, to Doha, Qatar. This new addition solidifies Hamad International Airport (DOH) as the “Best Airport in the Middle East,” according to Skytrax, and reinforces its role as a global gateway. Iberia’s daily service complements Qatar Airways’ existing two daily flights connecting the capitals of Spain and Qatar, as well as three daily flights between Barcelona and Doha. These services reflect our commitment to the Spanish market and support our shared goal of expanding the world’s largest airline joint business involving Qatar Airways, British Airways, and Iberia.
Through Madrid, London, and Doha, our three strategic partners offer unmatched connectivity to over 200 destinations in Asia, Australasia, the Middle East, and Africa, all with seamless transfers through our five-star hubs. Whether traveling from Madrid to Bali, Sydney to Ibiza, Lisbon to Maputo, or Doha to Malaga, our combined networks ensure swift and reliable itineraries for all passengers.
“As part of our unique partnership between Qatar Airways, British Airways, and Iberia, passengers can enjoy top-notch service both on the ground and in the air while effortlessly connecting to their preferred destinations. This partnership provides customers with increased flexibility, choices, and value. Today’s inaugural flight reaffirms Qatar’s status as a sought-after destination in the region and Hamad International Airport as a global gateway.”
Passengers transiting through Hamad International Airport can indulge in a wide array of amenities that transform their layovers into seamless journeys. Serving as a diverse lifestyle destination, the airport caters to all passenger profiles, ensuring a personalized and enjoyable visit. With numerous dining and shopping options, lounges, hotels, and sleeping pods, the airport goes beyond expectations. Unique experiences, such as the breathtaking indoor tropical garden known as the ORCHARD and captivating art installations, add to its allure. Hamad International Airport not only connects destinations but also crafts an immersive and memorable travel experience for every traveler passing through its gates.
Passengers can also extend their travels with enticing stopover packages to Qatar, offering a taste of local culture, desert adventures, world-class shopping, fine dining, and more. These packages include tours for passengers with layovers of over four hours or even overnight stays ranging from one to four nights.
Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Thierry Antinori, commented, “With the launch of Iberia flights, our valued customers, including corporate clients and trade partners, can benefit from increased capacity between Madrid and Doha. The schedules complement each other and provide unparalleled access to hundreds of destinations across both networks. Additionally, our partnership offers members of our airlines’ loyalty programs the advantage of a common currency – Avios. Members of Qatar Airways Privilege Club, Iberia Plus, and British Airways Executive Club can earn and redeem Avios on flights with all three airlines.”
