Thales, a global technology leader in the defence, aerospace, cybersecurity and digital solutions markets, and Qatar Airways, voted the World's Best Airline by Skytrax in 2024, have today signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a dedicated Inflight Entertainment (IFE) service and maintenance center based in Doha, Qatar.
The mission of a local Thales facility is to provide rapid access to comprehensive services such as repair, spare distribution, technical assistance and line maintenance for the full range of Thales IFE products.
Qatar Airways This will drive Qatar Airways' operational excellence and support the airlines ambitious growth plans to serve a large quantity of aircraft.

This MOU builds on a strong and long-standing relationship between the two companies. Over the years, Thales has been Qatar Airways' trusted IFE provider for several aircraft platforms, including their Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, A350 and A380 aircraft. This partnership was recently expanded to include Qatar Airways' new A321 NX fleet, which will be equipped with Thales' award-winning FlytEDGE cloud-native IFE solution.
Qatar Airways Chief MRO Officer, Mr Ali Al Saadi said: We are pleased to see the progression of our work with Thales. It is vitally important that we continue to explore new ways to ensure our technology and capabilities are at the cutting edge of modern aviation, and I am confident that our partnership with Thales will enable this to happen.
Thomas Got, Vice President, Aviation Global Services at Thales said:, Our partnership with Qatar Airways is growing stronger. This MOU underscores our shared commitment to even greater operational excellence and lays the groundwork for developing a local service hub and expertise in Doha, to support the airline's future growth ambitions.
