Qatar Airways First and Business Class passengers travelling on selected flights will be offered Iftar boxes containing a chicken or vegetarian sandwich wrap, hummus, crudités, mini Arabic bread, mixed nuts, baklava, dates, an Alpen fruit and nut bar, fresh laban and water.

Qatar Airways Group CEO Akbar al-Baker said: “This year, we continue our tradition of offering our passengers a delicious way to break their fast while flying. The holy month of Ramadan is an important period for a vast number of our passengers, and we continue to offer them the high standards of service they have become accustomed to.
“We invite our passengers to embrace this special time of year by enjoying our special Iftar boxes. On behalf of Qatar Airways, we extend to all warmest wishes for a Ramadan Kareem.”
As the Qatar Airways cabin crew will make an on-board announcement and serve Iftar boxes at the appropriate time during the flight, customers will not have to calculate the time.
