To make air travel more accessible and convenient, Access Bank and Qatar Airways have extended their partnership, offering exclusive discounted fares on flights across Africa and beyond. From now until December 31st, 2024, passengers can enjoy discounts of up to 12% on both business and economy class tickets. This initiative reflects the ongoing commitment of both entities to reduce financial barriers to air travel.

Through this collaboration, Access Bank customers can unlock these exclusive discounts by booking their flights online through Qatar Airways’ website using the promo code “ACCESS.”

The offer extends to destinations worldwide, enhancing travel opportunities for customers across the globe.

Qatar Airways continues to elevate travel experiences within Africa by providing exceptional services and rewards. Hendrik du Preez, Qatar Airways’ Vice President for Africa, emphasized the importance of this partnership in bridging travel gaps across the continent. “Despite Africa being one of the most underserved markets, we believe strongly in the power of partnerships like this to transform travel within the continent. By working alongside pan-African institutions like Access Bank, we aim to offer passengers innovative incentives that enhance their travel experiences.”

This partnership comes at a time of growth for Qatar Airways, which has recently expanded its routes across Africa and increased flight frequencies in various locations. With a network of over 160 destinations globally, Qatar Airways continues to strengthen its global footprint.

Iyabo Soji-Okusanya, Access Bank’s Executive Director for Corporate and Investment Banking, expressed excitement about the collaboration. “We are thrilled to partner with Qatar Airways to provide our customers with exceptional travel benefits. This initiative aligns with our dedication to enriching the overall experience for those who choose Access Bank year after year. By offering exclusive discounts on Qatar Airways flights, we aim to make travel more accessible and enjoyable for our customers,” she said.

The partnership reaffirms the shared vision of both Access Bank and Qatar Airways: to create seamless, rewarding travel experiences for customers across Africa and beyond.
