Qatar Airways and Virgin Australia: Great Allies

This week marked key days for the future of one of the most important airline alliances ever formed at the continental level: Qatar Airways and Virgin Australia.

The Qatari group has successfully obtained approval and final approval from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) for its alliance with Virgin Australia, the Australian airline in which Qatar Airways holds a 25% stake.

Through a strategic merger between these two operators, greater route synergies, more destinations, and more competitive fares are expected.

This alliance could bring significant benefits not only to the two airlines, but also to their customers, particularly those who subscribe to their Privilege Club and Velocity loyalty programs, who can quickly increase their mileage balances and enjoy other significant benefits every time they travel on their routes.
