The leading digital in-flight publication content provider PressReader partners with the world’sleading airlines Qatar Airways to offer passengers unlimited access to more than 6,000 global digital magazine and newspaper titles in one seamless digital experience through its Oryx One in-flight entertainment app from March 2021. PressReader currently offers thousands of magazine and newspaper titles from 120 countries, in more than 60 languages, for every type of traveller.
This partnership is a further enhancement to the services provided by Qatar Airways in line with COVID-19 on-board safety measures, offering a contactless entertainment experience - before, during and after you fly!
Speaking about the partnership, PressReader Group of Companies Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Alex Kroogman, said: “We are honoured to be chosen by Qatar Airways to bring quality journalism and a superior reading experience to its customers in a 100 per cent contactless way – pre, during and post-flight.”
Once a passenger books a flight on Qatar Airways, they can access the service up to three days before, and seven days after scheduled flights. Unlike other airline digital offerings, passengers will not need to leave Oryx One or download any additional apps to access the content at any point.
Via the Oryx One app on their personal electronic devices, passengers can access titles by inserting their Booking Reference Number (PNR) into the app’s ‘Newsstand’ and selecting the exclusively curated titles they wish to save. All the downloaded content will stay in a user’s digital library for as long as they have the app installed, helping to reduce newspaper and magazine waste, both on the ground and in-flight, by over 1,000 tonnes each year.
“Qatar Airways on-board experience remains the cornerstone of the airline’s world renowned five-star service.” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker. He further commented, “Despite the many challenges faced by the industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to be passionate about achieving the highest standards of safety and excellence in everything we do.”
