The airline made waves by unveiling cutting-edge cabin experiences, showcasing groundbreaking technologies, and securing the coveted Skytrax World’s Best Airline title for an unprecedented ninth time, solidifying its stature in the industry.

During the week-long event, Qatar Airways received widespread acclaim for its impressive aircraft showcase, which included the revolutionary Qsuite Next Gen, the luxurious Gulfstream G700 from Qatar Executive, and a Boeing 777 adorned with the UEFA Champions League livery. The airline also introduced the Qatar Airways L’Universe Lounge, where visitors had the opportunity to explore AI-driven innovations such as Sama and QVerse.

 “The Paris Air Show has always been a global stage for innovation and ambition for the industry, and this year Qatar Airways proudly led the dialogue in aviation excellence. From award-winning experiences to pioneering partnerships, every milestone achieved this week reaffirms our relentless commitment to excellence. These recognitions are a testament to the passion of our people, and to the trust of our passengers who inspire us to continuously raise the bar in global aviation.”

Qatar Airways has made headlines with its groundbreaking introduction of Starlink-powered high-speed Wi-Fi across its Boeing 777 and Airbus A350 fleets. This innovation has placed the airline at the forefront of in-flight connectivity, demonstrating its commitment to digital transformation and enhancing passenger experience during their journeys.

In addition to this technological milestone, Qatar Airways reinforced its industry leadership by securing multiple strategic partnerships at the recent aviation event:

Qatar Airways has unveiled a Multi-Crew Pilot License (MPL) training program in collaboration with Baltic Aviation Academy. This initiative ensures a steady pipeline of skilled cadet pilots, aligning with the airline’s robust expansion strategy, which is fueled by its recent record-widebody aircraft order.

In another strategic move, Qatar Airways, Barzan Holdings, and Satys Aerospace have joined forces to create the first widebody aircraft painting facility in the region, located in Qatar. This partnership is set to enhance Qatar Airways’ operational capabilities and contribute to the airline’s growth. You can read more about this collaboration here.

Further elevating its luxury services, Qatar Airways has partnered with renowned chef Yannick Alléno to refine the airline’s culinary offerings, both on board and on the ground. This partnership aims to offer passengers a world-class dining experience while traveling with Qatar Airways. Read more about this partnership here.

Qatar Airways has also selected F AIR as one of its key training partners for the airline’s next generation of pilots. Through a five-year MPL training agreement, Qatar Airways cadet pilots will receive top-tier training in the Czech Republic, guided by F AIR’s dedicated team of aviation experts. As the first cohort of cadets prepares to embark on their training in late 2025, this partnership is expected to drive further investment and development in F AIR’s facilities and infrastructure, enhancing the overall training experience for future pilots.

These partnerships and innovations highlight Qatar Airways’ ongoing commitment to excellence and its strategic investments in technology, training, and service to support its ambitious growth trajectory.

Qatar Airways has teamed up with IMG to introduce Sport 24 through Starlink. This collaboration aims to enhance passengers’ in-flight entertainment options by providing access to live sports content during their journeys, offering an immersive experience powered by the latest satellite technology.

In a significant move to bolster its fleet expansion, Qatar Airways has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with Thales. This partnership supports the airline’s strategic plan for fleet growth, which was announced the previous month, and is set to drive future innovations in in-flight entertainment (IFE). The agreement provides Qatar Airways with cutting-edge technologies to enhance its digital transformation journey.

The MoA also paves the way for the establishment of a dedicated IFE service and maintenance center in Doha, Qatar. This state-of-the-art facility will focus on offering a wide range of services, including repairs, spare part distribution, technical support, and comprehensive maintenance for Thales IFE products across Qatar Airways’ expanding fleet. Designed to uphold the highest standards of efficiency, the center will ensure swift service for the airline’s growing needs.

Qatar Airways has further cemented its dominance in global aviation at the 55th Paris Air Show, unveiling its next-gen Qsuite and AI-powered travel experiences. This achievement follows its remarkable ninth Skytrax World’s Best Airline win, highlighting its leadership in innovation and passenger comfort.

Qatar Airways has launched a Multi-Crew Pilot License (MPL) program in collaboration with the Qatar Aeronautical Academy. This initiative is set to train 750 cadet pilots over the next five years, creating new opportunities for aspiring aviators and helping to meet the airline’s future pilot requirements.

Amid a week of accolades, Qatar Airways achieved a remarkable feat by being named the World’s Best Airline by Skytrax for another year. The airline also claimed the titles of World’s Best Business Class, Best Airline in the Middle East, and Best Business Class Lounge for the Al Mourjan Garden Lounge, solidifying its position as a leader in customer experience both on the ground and in the air.

The Paris Air Show 2025, attended by over 300,000 visitors and more than 2,500 exhibitors from 48 countries, served as an ideal platform for Qatar Airways to showcase its latest accomplishments, strengthen industry relationships, and contribute to shaping the future of aviation.
