Qatar Airways has announced a groundbreaking partnership with legendary composer Hans Zimmer to craft a new sonic identity for the airline, marking a bold fusion of aviation and orchestral artistry.
The collaboration features a signature symphonic sound designed to enhance Qatar Airways’ brand experience across its global platforms, from in-flight ambience to airport lounges and advertising. Zimmer, known for scoring major Hollywood blockbusters like The Lion King, Gladiator, and Inception, brings his iconic musical craftsmanship to this unique aviation project.
Speaking on the partnership, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Badr Al-Meer, described the initiative as a defining moment in the airline’s journey to deepen emotional engagement with passengers. “Hans Zimmer’s signature sound captures the spirit of excellence, inspiration, and wonder — values that perfectly align with the Qatar Airways experience,” he said.
Hans Zimmer expressed excitement over the collaboration, noting that composing for an airline offered a rare creative opportunity to “compose music that accompanies people on life-changing journeys.” He added that the sound was created to evoke a sense of adventure, serenity, and discovery, resonating with the airline’s global and culturally diverse audience.
The new musical identity will roll out across Qatar Airways’ digital platforms, airport terminals, and onboard experience, further enriching the airline’s award-winning service with a deeply emotional and memorable soundscape.
