Qatar Airways, the Official Strategic Partner of Expo 2023 Doha, concluded a dynamic six-month journey at Expo 2023 Doha, achieving remarkable success. This installment of the largest horticultural exhibition in the MENA region not only showcased captivating exhibition stands but also fostered discussions and activities aimed at raising awareness about climate issues and desertification.

The acclaimed airline joined forces with Hamad International Airport (DOH) to create the striking Qatar Airways Garden, a collaboration that stood out as a highlight of the Expo. Throughout the duration of the event, the ‘Qatar Airways Garden’ emerged as one of the most frequented pavilions, drawing over 250,000 visitors. Qatar Airways and Hamad International Airport (HIA) played a pivotal role in facilitating the attendance of guests from nearly 170 global destinations at Expo 2023 Doha.

Upon entering the pavilion, visitors were welcomed by a towering yellow teddy bear, reminiscent of the iconic Lamp Bear at the award-winning Hamad International Airport. Additionally, significant landmarks from various continents serviced by Qatar Airways were showcased, underscoring Qatar’s significance as a vital global hub.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said: “With the successful conclusion of Expo 2023 Doha, Qatar is solidifying its role in hosting large-scale global events. Qatar Airways and Hamad International Airport are proud to have contributed to the initiative, allowing us to welcome visitors from all around the world to experience Qatar’s warm hospitality and be a part of its promising future.”

Qatar Airways made a significant mark on this historic occasion by integrating the Expo 2023 Doha livery into its fleet, commemorating its role as the Official Strategic Partner. Throughout the span of six months, the Qatar Airways Garden became a hub of diverse activities, immersive experiences, and cultural performances, showcasing the rich traditions of the world. The airline organized familiarization trips to spotlight the region’s largest horticultural exhibition.

Onboard Qatar Airways flights, passengers were treated to the spirit of Expo 2023 Doha with organic beverages from the esteemed Qatari vegan restaurant, Evergreen Organics. Collaborating with local farms and Evergreens Organic, Qatar Airways introduced an Expo 2023 Doha-inspired à la carte menu, enriching the culinary experience. The airline also featured informative gardening shows and videos on its in-flight entertainment system, OryxOne.

Moreover, the pavilion provided an unparalleled opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in Qatar’s cultural and sporting landscapes. From celebrating the Chinese New Year to marking its inaugural flight to Medan, Indonesia, alongside Qatar’s Indonesian community, coinciding with the Qatar-Indonesia 2023 Year of Culture, the Qatar Airways Garden became a focal point for cultural festivities.

During Qatar’s National Sports Day, the Garden hosted engaging sports activations, attracting nearly 17,000 visitors of diverse ages and backgrounds, making it a dynamic destination for all.
