Qatar Airways Partners with Qatar-India Year of Culture 2019

Qatar Airways is the Official Airline Partner for the Qatar-India Year of Culture 2019, marking the beginning of a year-long collaboration that will see both nations celebrate their cultures.
The Qatar-India Year of Culture 2019 will invite audiences in both Qatar and India to explore their cultural heritage through an exciting array of programmes, including a variety of Qatari-Indian exhibitions, musical performances, fashion, film and artistic events.
As the Official Airline, Qatar Airways will be the bridge between both countries by bringing more travellers from India to Doha, so that they can experience Qatar’s incredible hospitality and cultural heritage throughout the year.
The Year of Culture programme has continued to grow each passing year, with the Qatar-Russia Year of Culture 2018 programme being the largest cultural collaboration to date.
Qatar Airways currently operates 102 weekly flights between Doha and 13 destinations in India, including Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Goa, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, Kozhikode, Mumbai, Nagpur and Thiruvananthapuram.
Qatar Airways introduced its revolutionary Qsuite Business Class experience on the Mumbai and Bengaluru routes in July 2018, both of which are served by a Boeing 777 aircraft.
In February 2018, the airline introduced its state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900 on its Delhi route. The aircraft features a two-class configuration of 283 seats including 36 in Business Class and 247 in Economy Class.
