Airways is pleased to announce the expansion of its ‘Beyond Business by Qatar
Airways’ corporate rewards programme to its entire network. The programme,
which launched in Europe and the Americas in January 2019 and in Qatar last
month, introduces a new currency, Qrewards, enabling business travellers to
take advantage of a wide range of exclusive benefits.

With ‘Beyond Business by Qatar Airways’, small and
medium-sized enterprises earn valuable Qrewards which can be redeemed on

Business by Qatar Airways’ enables businesses to redeem Qrewards on any flight
with available seats. By progressing through three new reward tiers, Elevate,
Accelerate and Ascent, customers can unlock faster earning and unique benefits,
including fast track Qatar Airways Privilege Club Gold status, lounge access,
and upgrades.

In celebration of the launch of the programme,
Qatar Airways will offer 3,000 Qrewards for all new accounts created in Asia-Pacific,
Middle East and Pakistan and Africa until 3 May 2019. Bonus Qrewards will be
credited to the account within a week of qualification. Eligibility
requirements can be found on the programme’s website at: www.qatarairways.com/beyondbusiness

Commercial Officer, Mr. Ehab Amin, said: “We are delighted to now be able to
extend ‘Beyond Business by Qatar Airways’ to our global network. As a preferred
carrier for business travellers, Qatar Airways recognises the importance of offering
a premier corporate rewards programme. What makes this scheme truly unique is
