Qatar Airways flying high in China market

Doha-based Qatar Airways said Chinese travelers continue to exhibit strong demand for international travel, which contributed to its revenue growth, and the carrier is bullish on its growth potential in China after operating in the country for over 20 years. Key Chinese cities like Shanghai; Beijing; Guangzhou, Guangdong province; and Hong Kong continue to show strong demand, particularly in the premium travel segment, the carrier said. "We are confident in Qatar Airways' growth potential in China. These hubs remain vital for business travelers, and we have seen a robust recovery in premium travel as companies resume international engagements. These cities have maintained their positions as key gateways due to the volume of outbound business passengers," said Thierry Antinori, CCO of Qatar Airways. "Our partnerships with China Southern Airlines for flights connecting Doha and Guangzhou and with Xiamen Airlines for Beijing, enabling double daily flights to those two cities, have been further testament to the robust demand," Antinori said.<br/>
