Doha, QATAR – Qatar Airways has unveiled its brand new global television, print and online campaign focusing on its key attributes as a premium brand and adopting the new tagline, ‘The world’s 5-star airline.’

The new advertising tagline is designed to give emphasis to Qatar Airways’ rapidly expanding worldwide network and is an important part of the airline’s drive to build its premium brand image on the global stage. It also reflects the bold, confident image of Qatar Airways as one of the fastest growing airlines today.

With Qatar Airways constantly voted as among the best airlines in the world in a fiercely competitive aviation environment, the new campaign reinforces its position as a leading, innovative and quality airline of choice. The move comes as Qatar Airways introduces a brand new global identity with emphasis on the name Qatar in large bold letters to reflect the country as a leading world aviation hub.

Generous, progressive and confident are the attributes Qatar Airways strongly believes in – and are key assets the airline has developed over the years, earning praise among industry peers and passengers alike.

The brand communications campaign includes three new 30-second television commercials showcasing the airline’s best attributes – award-winning hospitality, cuisine and international network with particular emphasis on Qatar Airways’ exclusive Premium Terminal at Doha International Airport and the award-winning inflight cuisine.

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said the new campaign reflected the great strides the national airline of Qatar had made in such a short few years since its launch.

“Qatar Airways was formed in 1997 and so much has happened with the airline and the industry since its creation,” he said.

“We have developed and evolved into an airline of choice. But there is no room to rest on our laurels, which is why we have to maintain our strong position in the market and project our best attributes to the travelling public.

“Our new global campaign aims to further strengthen our position as an airline of choice and we are confident viewers and readers will be able to connect with the campaign giving them a feeling of being part of the Qatar Airways travel experience.”
