Qatar Aviation Services (QAS), the ground-handling arm of Qatar Airways Group, is set to open its first Philippine office at Northgate Cyberzone in Filinvest City, Alabang, to support its Southeast Asia expansion.

In a disclosure on Monday, Filinvest REIT Corp. (FILRT) said Northgate Cyberzone was selected as the company's first site for its accessibility and green infrastructure.

“We are pleased to welcome Qatar Aviation Services to Filinvest One. We look forward to building a strong partnership grounded in our shared commitment to sustainability,” FILRT President and CEO Maricel Brion-Lirio said.

Filinvest One is EDGE Level 3 Zero Carbon-certified and operates on 100 percent renewable energy.

“We are excited to partner with Filinvest REIT in establishing our presence in the Philippines. Northgate Cyberzone’s green infrastructure and future-ready environment align with our ambition to deliver carbon-conscious aviation services. 

This move not only strengthens our operational footprint in Asia but also supports local economic development through new job creation,” said Sameer Bhatnagar, Manager – Operational Readiness & Airport Transition at QAS.
