Iberia broadens code-share agreement with Qatar Airways

  • Thanks to the broadening of the code-share agreement between both airlines, Iberia customers can travel to 18 destinations in Africa, Asia, and Australia, including Addis Ababa, the Maldives, Melbourne, Perth, Phuket, Ho Chi Minh City, and Phnom Penh via Doha.
  • Qatar Airways will sell Iberia flights from Madrid to Bogota, Medellin, Montevideo, Panama City, Rio de Janeiro and Santo Domingo (the Dominican Republic) under its own flight code in connection with its Doha-Madrid flights.

MADRID, Spain, 2018-Mar-23 — /Travel PR News/ — Iberia and Qatar Airways have extended the code-sharing agreement they signed in 2017, enabling their customers to travel to more destinations, with more flight options and better connections.

Thus Iberia passengers will be able to travel to 18 destinations in Africa, Asia, and Australia, via Doha. Amongst these cities are 14 new destinations: Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore in Pakistan, Male in the Maldives, Hong Kong in China, Phuket in Thailand, Jakarta and Denpasar in Indonesia, Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, Phnom Penh in Cambodia, along with Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth in Australia, which join Doha, already included in the code-share agreement both airlines signed last year.

Qatar Airways, which has offered flights operated by Iberia under code sharing to 28 destinations in Spain and Portugal since March, 2017, can now sell flights under its code on the Spanish carrier’s routes to Bogota, Medellin, Montevideo, Panama City, Rio de Janeiro and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.

Iberia and Qatar Airways are members of oneworld, which the Qatari airline joined in October, 2013. Members of Iberia Plus and Qatar Airways Privilege Club can earn, as well as, redeem Avios and QMiles when they fly with either carrier. With the extension of the code-sharing agreement, cardholders of both loyalty programmes will have more options for enjoying these benefits.
