QATAR Airways (QA) has announced the launch of Oryx Kids Club on Tuesday, an exciting new flying club for the airline's youngest passengers, designed to put even more fun into flying for children.
The fun-filled launch took place at a press conference at KidzMondo Doha, hosted by Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer, Ehab Amin, and Qatar Airways Senior Vice-President Marketing and Corporate Communications, Salam al Shawa, with a special appearance by the Oryx Kids Club hero mascots, 'Orry' and 'Orah' the Oryx and their three furry friends Kamil the camel, Faaiz the falcon and Farah the desert fox.
The Oryx Kids Club and Oryx Kids Loyalty Programme offer special new children's in-flight meal boxes and plush toys on board, in addition to a new and exclusive frequent flyer programme designed just for young passengers. Children ages two-11 will be able to register for the Oryx Kids Loyalty Programme and earn Qmiles, which they can redeem for attractive awards and exclusive benefits. They will also earn Qpoints, which allow them to upgrade to a higher tier.
Amin said:"Qatar Airways is delighted to announce the launch of Oryx Kids Club programme and loyalty programme for its youngest travellers, offering them the opportunity to enjoy exceptional benefits while travelling with the QA."
Managing Director at Aura Entertainment Services, Nabil Barakat, said:"Our edutainment city also acts as the perfect platform for our trusted partners, and Qatar Airways, by partnering with KidzMondo Doha, has demonstrated its support of this ambitious national vision as a socially responsible organisation."
QA will also introduce new in-flight children's meal boxes, which are more exciting, nutritious and varied. And later this year, each registered child will also receive a free cuddly toy of one of the Oxyx Kids Club's five hero mascots, as well as an exciting new long-haul activity pack with fun games inside.
As part of the initiative, the Oryx Kids Loyalty Programme will also be launched in coming months for children ages 2-11, offering them the opportunity to enjoy value-added benefits while travelling with QA as well as the ability to earn Qmiles, which can be redeemed for attractive awards. In addition, they will also be eligible to earn Qpoints, which moves them to a higher tier, offering exclusive benefits.
The fun new hero mascots will feature on the airline's website, in marketing material and in all the literature and activity packs given to children when they fly long-haul, as well as at special appearances at Hamad International Airport. All parents need to do is register with the Oryx Kids Club at www.qatarairways.com.qa as part of the booking process, to make sure their children can join in all the fun on board.
