Muscat: Huawei has welcomed Qatar Airways, the multiple award-winning airline, to its official distribution platform, AppGallery – one of the top three global app marketplaces in the world with more than 530 million monthly active users across 170 countries. Free to download, the Qatar Airways app is the ultimate travel companion, offering users a host of personalized and convenient features to make every journey seamless. It’s the latest in a growing number of apps that Huawei has added to its AppGallery, offering more options and innovative technologies to fit every lifestyle.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Akbar Al Baker, said: “At Qatar Airways, we continue to enhance our digital products and champion innovation to ensure our passengers experience five-star services across all stages of their journey. By collaborating with Huawei, one of the world’s top smartphone brands, we offer our world-class app to more customers, allowing them to take control of their travel plans, and stay informed at all times. During these challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, our passengers using the app will have the opportunity to limit physical contact throughout their journey significantly.”

Mr. Lu Geng, Vice President Middle East, and Africa, Huawei Global Partnerships & Eco-Development, said: “As the heart of our in-house ecosystem, the AppGallery is constantly growing, and through this distribution platform, we are committed to offering consumers a premium, enhanced, and intuitive experiences. Nowadays, people are relying on smartphones to fulfill their travel-related needs, minimize contact and make things simpler, and the Qatar Airways app helps users achieve this.”

With an updated, intuitively designed look and feel, the Qatar Airways mobile app allows customers to book flights to more than 130 destinations around the world, check-in, manage bookings and take complete control of their journey, all at their fingertips. A personalized home screen provides the most relevant information to each user, while those with an upcoming flight can have the ‘My Trips’ feature displayed on the home screen, highlighting the most important information at each stage of their journey. Passengers can also enable notifications through the mobile app to receive important alerts about their upcoming flight and track baggage, and book Meet and Assist services at Hamad International Airport in Doha. 

Apart from providing seamless booking options, the mobile app also includes a camera tool, allowing passengers to capture a photo of their passport or payment card without manually entering this information upon check-out. Meanwhile, members of Qatar Airways’ loyalty program, Privilege Club, can use the app to log in with fingerprint or facial recognition seamlessly, book a trip using Cash + Qmiles, redeem Privilege Club awards, manage their accounts, and much more.

AppGallery has quickly established itself as one of the top app marketplaces globally, enabling users to download a wide selection of global and localized apps and enjoy a rich library of quality entertainment media on HUAWEI Video, HUAWEI Music, and HUAWEI Reader, with new content from top providers, added continuously. It is now easier than ever for Huawei users to search for and download the apps they want directly from their home screen via Petal Search. This new search tool offers Huawei users an open gateway to a million apps.

To access all the benefits of the Qatar Airways app, users can download it from the AppGallery.
