Qatar Airways chooses BMW 7 Series for luxury chauffeur drive service between its aircraft and terminals

Qatar Airways is one of the fastest growing airlines in the world due to its rapid fleet expansion and their commitment to the highest standard of customer service.

The 730Li cars have been supplied by Alfardan Automobiles, the exclusive importer for BMW cars in Qatar.

"Alfardan has had a long standing relationship with Qatar Airways. The airline's choice of the recently introduced 7 Series underscores BMW's leading position in Qatar's luxury car segment," said Ahmed Sorour, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Alfardan Automobiles.

"Qatar Airways First Class passengers enjoy the height of luxury and comfort, whether they are in the air or on the ground."

The BMW 730Li is the latest model of the extensive 7 Series range to be introduced in Qatar by Alfardan Automobiles. Other models available are the 735i, 745i and 760Li, as well as the individual editions.

"Even bigger than its predecessor the distinctively styled BMW 7 Series has ample rear seating legroom and headroom for the tallest passengers. It also features an electronic damping system that continually adjusts the ride between soft and firm, depending on road conditions. This enhances the luxury experience and ensures both driver and passengers travel in unrivalled comfort," said Sorour.

The 7 Series models provide superb performance through a combination of revolutionary engine technology and the world's first six speed automatic gearbox in a luxury car. This offers a greater spread of gear ratios, giving drivers more flexibility, improving acceleration and fuel consumption while reducing noise.

The transmission uses shift-by-wire technology to ensure the smoothest automatic changes while steering wheel mounted Steptronic buttons mean that even drivers who prefer more involvement in gear changes can do so without taking their hands off the wheel.

Both BMW's market share in Qatar and Qatar Airways extensive route network continue to grow rapidly.
