This year’s awards recognized 35 different travel service companies in 54 different categories.
Qatar Airways is currently operating a modern fleet of 103 aircraft and is offering flights to 110 destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America. The airline plans to serve 120 destinations worldwide with a fleet of 120 aircraft by 2013.
