Qatar Airways (QA) has announced a codeshare partnership with Deutsche Bahn (German railways), offering QA passengers seamless connection to and from eight key destinations in Germany.
The codeshare partnership with Deutsche Bahn, one of the largest railways operators in Europe, will provide QA passengers with connections to eight key cities within DB network like Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Hannover, Leipzig, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Munich and Hamburg via QA’s Frankfurt gateway in Germany.
QA currently operates 35 weekly flights between Doha and Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin -- two daily flights from Frankfurt and Munich, and one daily flight from Berlin.
QA Group Chief Executive Akbar al Baker said, “This codeshare agreement between Qatar Airways and Deutsche Bahn further strengthens the ties between Germany and Qatar. We have witnessed significant growing demand between Germany to Qatar and beyond. Our new codeshare destinations not only meet that demand, but provide a service for our valued passengers in Doha, and from dozens of destinations globally to new, exciting places to explore in Germany.”
Berthold Huber, member of the Management Board for Passenger Transport of Deutsche Bahn, said, “We are very pleased to further intensify our succesful and long-standing Rail&Fly cooperation with Qatar Airways through our new codeshare agreement. Qatar Airways and Deutsche Bahn codeshare offers our joint customers a seamless, easy and flexible journey to and from different German cities.”
