Qatar Airways expands frequent flyer benefits to Qatar Executive flights

Qatar Airways Privilege Club and Qatar Executive have recently announced a partnership that provides new benefits to travellers using Qatar Executive private jets. Beginning October 10th, 2024, Qatar Executive passengers can earn and use Avios.

What is Qatar Executive?

Launched at the Paris Air Show in 2009 as part of Qatar Airways Group’s global growth strategy, Qatar Executive is one of the Middle East's most successful and respected business jet operators.

Operating out of Doha International Airport, with support from Hamad International Airport, Qatar Executive employs a floating base concept that allows their state-of-the-art, wholly-owned fleet to whisk passengers away to any global destination at a moment’s notice.

With options to book individual trips or purchase blocks of flight hours, Qatar Executive provides the utmost in exclusivity and convenience to ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

The Qatar Privilege Club

Qatar Privilege Club is Qatar Airways’ official frequent flyer programme. It features four membership tiers: Burgundy, Silver, Gold, and Platinum, each with its own set of Qatar Airways rewards. Club members can collect Avios when flying with Qatar Airways, oneworld, British Airways, and various other airline partners, as well as through multiple financial, hotel, car rental, and lifestyle partnerships.

Members can redeem their Avios for flights, upgrades, extra baggage, travel packages with Qatar Airways Holidays, and more. By linking their payment cards with their Privilege Club account, they can also use Avios to make purchases at Qatar Duty Free, access the Privilege Club Collection, and access a host of shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Partnership Details

With this new partnership, Qatar Airways Privilege Club can now collect and spend Avios on Qatar Executive trips. Members can use Avios to fly on chartered flights on aircraft such as the G700, G650ER, Global 5000, and Airbus A319CJ.

By booking directly through Qatar Executive, members can earn four Avios for every dollar spent and can pay for their flights entirely or partly using Cash + Avios. First-timers also get exclusive benefits, such as four complimentary tier upgrades, one Platinum and three Gold, which they can gift to chosen individuals if they wish. Family members even have the option to book flights with Avios on Qatar Executive by combining their points.

Thomas Vadakedath, Qatar Airways Senior Vice President of Loyalty, shared his excitement about the new partnership: “As Privilege Club continues to augment the loyalty programme with exclusive experiences for our members, we are proud to collaborate with Qatar Executive. Members who prefer flying in the comfort of private charters can now collect Avios when making their bookings with Qatar Executive. Furthermore, members can now also choose to experience the luxury of Qatar Executive by paying for their flight, either in full or part with Avios. We look forward to seeing our members benefit from this fruitful collaboration.”

Trevor Esling, Qatar Executive Vice President Commercial, added, “As we continue to set the standard for business aviation, our partnership with Qatar Airways Privilege Club further enhances the exclusive benefits we offer to our clientele. The programme aims to reward our loyal passengers while creating further synergies within the Qatar Airways Group. As a first-of-its-kind within our industry, we see it as another addition in providing a smoother and more rewarding journey at every touchpoint.”
