Starting from today, March 13, 2024, Qatar Airways and Aer Lingus (EI) will commence a fresh codeshare collaboration. This codeshare agreement will enable customers to use enhanced connectivity to a wider array of destinations in the UK and Ireland. Moreover, it will bring advantages to passengers worldwide, encompassing regions such as Africa, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and New Zealand.
Qatar Airways plans to extend its codeshare agreement to include flights operated by Aer Lingus (EI) and Aer Lingus Regional, the national airline of Ireland. This move reinforces Qatar Airways’ existing partnership with International Airlines Group (IAG) by expanding its codeshare network to cover all IAG carriers, such as British Airways, Iberia, Vueling, and Aer Lingus. This development further strengthens Qatar Airways’ presence in the European market.
Qatar Airways and Aer Lingus (EI) have entered into a new codeshare agreement that allows passengers to connect between their flights through Dublin, London, and Manchester. This partnership facilitates seamless travel between various destinations in Ireland and the UK, such as Aberdeen, Belfast, Cork, and Glasgow, and Qatar Airways’ extensive network worldwide via Hamad International Airport in Doha.
The launch of this new joint venture follows the recent expansion of the strategic alliance between Qatar Airways, British Airways and Iberia.
Qatar Airways Company Q.C.S.C., operating as Qatar Airways, is the flag carrier of Qatar. Headquartered in the Qatar Airways Tower in Doha, the airline operates a hub-and-spoke network, flying to over 170 international destinations across five continents from its base at Hamad International Airport.
Aer Lingus is the flag carrier of Ireland. Founded by the Irish Government, it was privatized between 2006 and 2015 and it is now a wholly owned subsidiary of International Airlines Group. The airline’s head office is on the grounds of Dublin Airport in Cloghran, County Dublin.
