Qatar Airways’ safety video featuring FC Barcelona players is a hit

In a step-change from the airline’s traditional in-flight safety content, Qatar Airways communicated the airline’s essential safety information in scenes which depicted Suarez taking to the pitch in a life vest, while Pique causes a stir with waiting fans. This safety video will be shown to all passengers on board every Qatar Airways flight, reaching tens of millions of people in addition to the community of fans online.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker said: “Safety is of course at the heart of our operations as a global airline and I am delighted that our successful partnership with FC Barcelona has been so warmly received in this way by our passengers and the online viewing public.”

Total viewing time of the safety video as posted to YouTube equates to a remarkable 39 years and 94 days since its launch.

The new video is now shown on Qatar Airways' state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment system and can also be viewed here .
