Qatar Airways to use Infini seat reservation system in Japan

Qatar Airways has signed an agreement with Infini, the global reservation company, which will allow customers in Japan to book seats on Qatar Airways flights through more than 6,000 travel agencies.

"Infini is one of the largest seat reservation systems that operates in Japan and offers Qatar Airways direct exposure to the large Japanese market," said Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways chief executive officer.

"Our agreement with Infini means that we can now give the Japanese traveller easy and convenient access to our high quality airline service.

"Japanese travel agencies using the Infini reservation system can now book their customers directly on any Qatar Airways flight, including our flights from Bangkok, Seoul, Shanghai, Jakarta, Singapore, Cebu, Manila and Kuala Lumpur," said Al Baker.

Mohammed Saleh Fakhri, Qatar Airways general manager, and Masatsugu Nishyori, Infini's chairman, president and CEO, signed the agreement in Tokyo last week.
