The ribbon to the centrally located new office was cut by Qatar Airways Senior Vice President North, South and Western Europe, Mr. Jonathan Harding and Qatar's Ambassador in Cyprus His Excellency Hussain Ahmad Al-Homaid.
Mr. Harding said that Cyprus is such a diverse island and presents multiple opportunities for Qatar Airways. “Cyprus has proved to be an excellent market for Qatar Airways, with operations starting less than a year back, we have made quite big strides in such a short time. Of course this was made possible due to tremendous support received from local agents, their feedback has helped us understand market demand better and create a more localized product”, said Harding.
