LONDON – Qatar Airways (QR) continues to expand its portfolio of strong, globally strategic partnerships by signing an expanded codeshare agreement with Oman Air (WY) that will boost connectivity and provide more flexible travel options for both airline’s customers.
The expanded codeshare agreement is the first step in further strengthening strategic cooperation between the two airlines that first began in 2000. Sales of the additional destinations will commence in 2021.

Codeshare Expansion
The codeshare expansion will significantly increase the number of destinations available to WY passengers from three to 65 on the QR’ network across Africa, the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, India, and the Middle East.
The project was then sidelined during the SP regime, which began pressing for an international airport in Agra so as to build a connectivity with its dream project, Lucknow-Agra Expressway.
The project was revived during the current BJP regime, and with the same party at the centre and the state, things could move way faster. The site clearance for the airport came in 2017. Over the past three years, various clearances, including security, environment, bidder, etc followed. It is Zurich Airport International AG that won the bid for developing the airport in December last year. The airport is expected to share the load of the IGI Airport in Delhi.
