Olympic in talks with Qatar

OLYMPIC AIRWAYS, the Greek national carrier, and Qatar Airways are discussing a possible co-operation to counter each other's geographical weaknesses. Olympic's president Prof. Rigas Doganis had preliminary talks with Qatar Airways' vice-president Saeed Suliman on 12 October.

The discussions focused on some form of code-share or block-space agreement, whereby Olympic would gain access to the Qatari carrier's growing destinations on the Indian sub-continent and Southeast Asia. In return, Qatar Airways could take advantage of Olympic's presence in the US market.
