Qatar Airways, the national carrier of the State of Qatar, has partnered with United States India Educational Foundation (USIEF) as the official airline partner for the pre- departure orientation for students who have applied to US universities for further education. The airline will be participating at the pre-departure orientation sessions which are organised in seven key cities by USIEF. Over 2000 students are expected to attend the orientation and will get the opportunity to interact with USIEF staff and receive complete information about the education system and culture in the USA.

Henry Moses, country manager India, Qatar Airways, said, “We are excited to partner with USIEF and support the students in this orientation programme. As an airline, we have always supported students in more ways than one by offering special fares with additional baggage allowances for students. Associating with USIEF is an exceptional opportunity, as Qatar Airways has seen a remarkable response from India on its rapidly expanding USA route network. With the American Airlines code share and the oneworld alliance, we have an expansive network to seamlessly connect more passengers to USA. The United States remains a focal point for the airline and we will continue to explore further possibilities of promoting the destination among various segments of travellers from India.”

The airline reaches to 12 cities in India, taking the overall frequency to 95 passenger flights each week. The Indian network covers daily passenger flights to Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Goa, Hyderabad, Kozhikode, Trivandrum, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, with 11-flights-a-week to Kochi and double daily to the capital, Delhi.
