As the face of Qatar Airways’ innovation, Sama will connect with a global audience on Instagram. Her account, @SamaOnTheMove, will offer followers a mix of travel tips, personal stories from her layovers, and a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a cabin crew member—all with a creative, human touch.

Qatar Airways senior vice president marketing and corporate communications, Babar Rahman, said: “Introducing Sama on Instagram is an extension of our vision to blend human connection with technological innovation. Sama is not just a digital human; she’s a reflection of how we see the future of travel—personal, engaging, and deeply connected to the experiences that matter. Her presence marks a step forward in how we humanise our brand and create moments that resonate with our global audience.”
