Qatar Airways is pleased to announce a codeshare partnership with Air Botswana, offering Qatar Airways travellers enhanced access to three key destinations in Botswana, Africa.
Kemitraan dengan Air Botswana, maskapai penerbangan nasional Botswana, akan memberi penumpang Qatar Airways koneksi ke kota-kota Botswana di Gaborone, Francistown dan Maun melalui gerbang Afrika Selatan Johannesburg Airways di Qatar Airways. Qatar Airways mengoperasikan penerbangan dua kali sehari antara Johannesburg dan hub mutakhirnya, Bandara Internasional Hamad di Doha, dengan penerbangan lanjutan ke lebih dari 150 tujuan di seluruh dunia.
The new codeshare agreement allows business and leisure travellers fast and convenient access to the home of Botswana’s rich mineral industry, abundant game reserves, and luxury safari lodges. Botswana’s luxurious tourism experiences are complemented by Qatar Airways’ ultra-modern fleet of aircraft featuring the world’s best Business Class on services to South Africa.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “Our new codeshare agreement with Air Botswana will offer even greater opportunities for passengers from across our global network, especially from key markets in Europe and Asia to easily connect with popular destinations in Botswana, to take advantage of exclusive leisure experiences.
“Codeshare partnerships and airline alliances continue to play an important role for Qatar Airways. We are committed to serving the travel needs of the African market and the addition of Air Botswana flights to Qatar Airways’ route network is an important expansion of our network.”
Wilayah Afrika Selatan merupakan pasar penting bagi Qatar Airways, dengan tiga tujuan di Afrika Selatan termasuk Johannesburg, Cape Town dan Durban, dan di timur Maputo di Mozambik. Ekspansi di wilayah ini adalah fokus utama Qatar Airways, setelah meluncurkan layanan ke ibu kota Namibia, Windhoek pada 28 September, diikuti Lusaka di Zambia, dan dimulainya kembali layanan ke Seychelles pada Desember 2016.
Air Botswana’s Acting General Manager, Ms. Agnes Khunwana, said: “We are delighted to join forces with a renowned global airline like Qatar Airways to launch codeshare services to a number of Botswana cities. This partnership provides Qatar Airways’ passengers with easy and direct access to a number of key business and high-end leisure destinations across Botswana while providing easy access to Qatar Airways’ global network for the people of Gaborone, Francistown and Maun when booking directly with Qatar Airways. We look forward to working closely with Qatar Airways into the future.”
Wisatawan yang terhubung ke jaringan global Qatar Airways dari Afrika Selatan akan memiliki akses ke lebih dari 150 tujuan dan akan terus melihat Qatar Airways memperluas jangkauan globalnya, dengan lebih dari selusin tujuan baru ditambahkan pada tahun 2016 untuk dijelajahi.
