Doha, QATAR, 2013-02-04 — /travelprnews.com/ — Qatar Airways, one of the world’s fastest growing airlines, has placed the ease and convenience of travelling with the airline right in the palm of the customer’s hand – literally!
With such busy lives, customers need to be connected to Qatar Airways’ services as well as the latest travel information from anywhere around the world. To meet this growing customer need, Qatar Airways has launched a new mobile application for BlackBerry, Android, iPhone handsets, and has introduced a new mobile website.
Through ease and convenience of using their mobile devices, customers can search for, and book flights, check their flight status and follow travel alerts. In addition, members of the airline’s Privilege Card frequent flyer programme can fast track their booking by logging in with their membership number.
The new line of services being offered is part of the Doha-based carrier’s commitment to continue providing customers with a Five Star service with added value benefits.
Customers can download the application at qatarairways.com/mobile and follow the links to the iPhone, BlackBerry or Android smartphone app store.
In addition, the mobile website can be accessed by entering qatarairways.com directly into the browser of any smartphone or tablet.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said: “We are continually looking for ways to bring new and exciting services to our customers.
“Mobility is high on the list of our customers to have access to important travel and flight information when and where they want it, so we have now given them a new service that meets that demand. As our customers’ needs evolve, so will the services and products that we offer.”
One of the world’s fastest growing airlines, Qatar Airways has seen rapid growth in just 16 years of operations, currently flying a modern fleet of 119 aircraft to 124 key business and leisure destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and The Americas.
