Qatar Airways is the fastest growing airline on social media, according to analytics platform Social Bakers, thanks to a contest for FC Barcelona fans on Facebook as the airline kicked off its sponsorship of the FC Barcelona Asia Tour.
The competition which ran from July 1 to 31 was launched to celebrate the airline’s support for the team’s visit to Bangkok, Thailand, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It gained the airline hundreds of thousands of new fans.
Two winners, from one of destinations Qatar Airways flies, will fly with a guest in the airline’s award-winning Business Class, receive VIP tickets to the Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur match, and have a chance to meet FC Barcelona players for a private autograph session, as well as two nights at Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok by the River of Kings or Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur — a paradise in the heart of a metropolis. Qatar Airways is also giving its fans the opportunity to customise their personal Facebook and Twitter profiles with an exclusive badge to share their love for football. The airline expects continued surge of fans, as it spreads its brand message worldwide via its partnership with FC Barcelona as main sponsor. Fans can follow the club’s Asia Tour 2013 on www.facebook.com/qatarairways.
