The partnership sees two of the country’s biggest brands come together to offer customers worldwide one of the best on-board connections, a statement said.
Effective from December 18, to celebrate Qatar National Day, Qatar Airways passengers on all connected aircraft will enjoy free Wi-Fi for the first 15 minutes courtesy of Ooredoo.
