JetBlue and Qatar Airways have expanded their codeshare agreement to further strengthen the decade-year-old partnership and offer more destinations to passengers. As a part of the new agreement, JetBlue customers will now have an option of traveling between the US and 11 new destinations in eight countries across Africa and Asia via Doha’s Hamad International Airport (DOH).
These 11 new destinations will be added to the 13 existing codeshare destinations already available to JetBlue customers within the Qatar Airways Network of Excellence in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Robin Hayes, chief executive officer of JetBlue, said: “Together with Qatar Airways, we are connecting more customers to more outstanding destinations, all while providing them with industry-leading experiences onboard our two airlines. Qatar Airways is already our top internationally-based partner for connecting customers across the Americas to its worldwide network, and as we continue to strengthen our relationship, we are giving travelers a variety of fresh choices for flying to new corners of the globe.”
Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, said: “Qatar Airways is excited to bring our codeshare partnership with JetBlue to our extensive global network, offering passengers seamless connectivity to over 150 destinations worldwide including premier destinations across Africa and Asia. For more than a decade, JetBlue has been an outstanding partner, and as we continue to deepen our ties, we are committed to offering travelers effortless connections and unparalleled service.”
The earlier agreement already gives access to Qatar Airways passengers to more than 50 destinations across the JetBlue network, including the ability to book travels on JetBlue’s extensive options between the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America regions.
