Qatar Airways has welcomed the recent Comprehensive Air Transport Agreement between Qatar and European Union, which it said 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 co-operation on a wide range of aviation issues, such as safety, security, environment, competition, consumer protection, social matters, and air traffic management.

The agreement was signed by HE the Minister of Transport Jassim Seif Ahmed al-Sulaiti, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia An?e Logar, whose country is currently holding the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, and the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and Vice-President of the European Commission, Josep Borrell.
