Qatar Airways, the grand plan during the pandemic
Qatar Airways has taken the leadership as the world's largest long-haul airline during the pandemic. During the months of closure, the carrier did not make cuts, but invested further to gain market share. One of the first moves implemented was to repatriate passengers stranded abroad, a move that gained trust and consideration. Flying anyway and as much as possible, this was the second step in the strategy. In addition, Qatar Airways was the first airline to announce flights with fully vaccinated crew and passengers on board. It scheduled the first trip on April 10. Finally, it also hired several pilots and other aircraft staff members who had been laid off or had had pay cuts.
The Privilege Club, a world of opportunities
Privilege Club is Qatar Airways' loyalty program: starting with the Burgundy entry level and then the classic Silver, Gold and Platinum. Each flight allows you to earn Qpoints depending on the class and flight length. It takes 150 Qpoints to become Silver, 300 to advance to Gold level, and 600 for Platinum. Last year Privilege Club continued to invest in redesigning the program. It reduced the number of Qmiles needed to book award flights to 49%. It also revised its Qmiles policy so that when a member earns or spends them, their balance is valid for 36 months.
