There is a marketing deal in place between the Welsh government and Qatar Airways. £1 million a year to promote Wales through their network. Which let's face it is small change governmental wise and i wouldn't be surprised if the deal with the airport itself gives free landing fees etc. The original deal was for 2 years but I'd imagine that it would get extended for another 2 years.
It would definitely be interesting to know how some of the other new european routes are getting on.
