Qatar Airways Vice President Indian sub-continent, Ihab Sorial said: “Qatar Airways has a proud tradition of supporting student welfare through multiple global initiatives such as special student fares, additional baggage allowances and online donation facilities to support children education programmes. Collaborating with the United States India Educational Foundation for two successive years is a perfect opportunity for us to inspire young scholars towards a brighter tomorrow, thereby reasserting the airline’s commitment in the field of education. Qatar Airways has seen a remarkable response from India on its rapidly expanding USA network. The United States continues to be a focused region for the airline and we will continue to explore further prospects for promoting the destination among different segments of Indian travellers.”
