Qatar Airways welcomes top-tier Italian football team FC Internazionale Milano to its sport sponsorship portfolio

Top-tier Italian football team FC Internazionale Milano (Inter) has joined Qatar Airways, the State of Qatar's flag airline, in its portfolio of sports sponsorships. As the club's new Official Global Airline Partner, Inter's management team and Qatar Airways Group Chief management, Engr. Badr Al Meer, teamed together at the Dubai Airshow 2023.

A multiyear arrangement encompassing branding, hospitality, and marketing rights—as well as customised travel options for every Inter supporter—will be part of this group-wide collaboration. Through this partnership, Qatar Airways is able to further establish its presence in Italy and Europe, two areas that are extremely important to the airline.

The partnership will also see extended group-wide rights with Inter, which include:

- Hamad International Airport as the ‘Official Airport’

- Qatar Duty Free as the ‘Official Duty-Free’

- Qatar Airways Privilege Club as the ‘Official Frequent Flyer Programme’

- Qatar Airways Holidays as the ‘Official Fan Travel Partner’ in Qatar.

In celebration of this collaboration, Engr. Badr Al Meer gave the Inter executive team a tour of the Qatar Airways aircraft on exhibit on the second day of the Dubai Airshow. Marco Materazzi, the FIFA World Cup champion and UEFA Champions League winner, also made an unexpected appearance to mark the beginning of what is expected to be an incredible sporting collaboration with Qatar Airways Group.

The award-winning Qsuite on the Airbus A350-1000, the Business Class suite on the Boeing 787-9, and the cutting-edge Gulfstream G650ER private jet operated by Qatar Executive were all shown to the Inter delegation. The delegation gave Qatar Airways with Inter jerseys emblazoned with the number “7” to celebrate the airline’s seven times title of “World’s Best Airline”.
