QATAR Airways (QA) extended its best wishes to Team Qatar's athletes participating in this year's highly-anticipated global sporting event, the 18th Asian Games Jakarta Palembang 2018, taking place in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia, from August 18 to September 2, 2018.
Qatar's national carrier is proud to be the Prestige Partner and Official Airline of the Asian Games.
More than 220 of Qatar's most talented athletes flew out of Qatar's home and hub, Hamad International Airport, on the award-winning airline to gather in Jakarta ahead of Saturday's opening ceremony, which launched an exciting two-week global competition. Qatar's national team will compete alongside 44 participating nations in various sports including: shooting, sailing, fencing, bowling, equestrian, archery, gymnastics, tennis, karate, taekwondo, and many more.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar al Baker, said:"Qatar Airways wishes all the talented athletes from Qatar's National Team the best of luck in the 18th Asian Games Jakarta Palembang 2018. We are proud and excited to watch our nation's best athletes compete in this exciting global event, and we look forward to celebrating their success with them. I would also like to extend Qatar Airways' best wishes to all participating nations."
"As the Prestige Partner and Official Airline of this world-class sporting event, Qatar Airways welcomes all fans to Jakarta and Palembang, and is proud to unite passengers from around the world through a shared love of sport. We believe in the power of sport and its ability to bring people together, and we will continue to support the unity that it fosters by strengthening our extensive global sporting sponsorship portfolio."
This is the second time that Qatar Airways has sponsored the prestigious Asian Games; the award-winning airline was also the Official Airline of the 15th Asian Games Doha 2006. The national carrier of the State of Qatar welcomed thousands of fans from around the world to Doha, in what was the largest sporting event in the history of Qatar at the time.
The Asian Games is a pancontinental multi-sporting event held every four years, and is the second largest multi-sporting event after the Olympic Games. The award-winning airline provides triple-daily services to Jakarta, served by a Boeing 787-8 aircraft, featuring 22 seats in Business Class and 232 seats in Economy Class, and triple-daily services to Denpasar, served by a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, featuring 24 seats in Business Class and 388 seats in Economy Class.
