Qatar Airways, one of the world's fastest growing airlines, has moved into Munich Airport's new Terminal 2. The new terminal is exclusively dedicated to Lufthansa and its partners, including Qatar Airways. The Qatari flag-carrier flies non-stop to Munich from Doha thrice weekly.
Akbar Al Baker, Chief Executive Officer, Qatar Airways: "With the move to the new terminal, we are offering a sophisticated service to our guests that, together with our ambitious level of performance, will meet the expectations of travellers choosing a premium carrier like Qatar Airways."
Munich Airport (FMG) and Lufthansa have agreed to share entrepreneurial responsibility for financing and operating the new terminal. The cooperation was formalised under a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 1998.
Qatar Airways will extend its route network to 50 destinations by the end of this year. It presently flies to 41 destinations. Qatar Airways is also increasing its fleet. It presently has 24 Airbus aircraft, which will increase to 52 by the end of 2008. Qatar Airways is also one of the launch customers for the A380 ‘super jumbo’.
Qatar Airways also operates a number of subsidiary companies including: Qatar Aviation Services, Qatar Aviation Catering Company, Qatar Airways Holidays, Doha International Airport, and Qatar Duty Free.
