||||
| Tokyo November 18, 2004 - ANA Group and Qatar Airways will commence a reciprocal Frequent Flyer Programme agreement on December 1 this year, giving the 1.1 million plus ANA Mileage Club (AMC) members and around 70,000 Qatar Airway’s Privilege Club members the ability to accrue and redeem mileage on the entirety of each others’ networks. Qatar Airways is the national carrier of the Arabian Gulf State of Qatar and one of the fastest growing airlines in the world, aiming to extend its network from the present 53 destinations to 70 by the end of next year. Its expansion plans also include non-stop flights from Doha to Osaka (Kansai) from spring 2005. Qatar Airways serves Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and the Far East with one of the world’s youngest fleets, and offers added value to AMC members who travel to Qatar and beyond on business or pleasure. Likewise, Qatar Airways’ Frequent Flyers travelling on domestic or international ANA flights will be able to accrue Privilege Club miles for redemption against a variety of products and services, including award flights or upgrades. ANA is one of the top 10 ten air passenger carriers in the world with an extensive domestic network covering the whole of Japan, and flights to 22 overseas destinations in Europe, North America, Asia and the Pacific. This tie-up marks the start of an alliance between ANA and Qatar Airways, which both carriers hope to expand in the future. |
