Doha: The State of Qatar and the European Union signed a landmark Comprehensive Air Transport Agreement in Luxembourg on October 18, 2021, an Aviation Agreement that will ensure the highest level of safety and security, while enhancing connectivity and freedom of movement for travellers.
The State of Qatar and the EU member states are strategic partners, and the relationship between both parties has been much closer since June 2016, after the European Commission obtained authorisation from the EU Council to negotiate this aviation agreement.
Qatar Airways has welcomed the aviation agreement with European partners, which is far more relevant and modern than any other related to air transport.
This aviation agreement represents the new global benchmark for aviation agreements, providing a single set of rules, high standards and a platform for future cooperation on a wide range of aviation issues, such as safety, security, environment, competition, consumer protection, social matters, and air traffic management.
