Qatar Airways is working tirelessly to ensure that those stranded abroad can fly home to their loved ones. The airline is working with governments around the world to maintain a strong schedule of flights, and organising charter flights where needed. The airline has received words of thanks from many countries, including the governments of Germany, the UK, France, Pakistan, and Oman for its efforts to return their citizens.
HE Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, said on Wednesday: "At Qatar Airways we continue to work hard to take people home to their families, while also ensuring robust health and safety practices to limit the spread of coronavirus.
His Excellency added: "We are adjusting our flight schedules on a daily basis, and since the outbreak of the virus we have stepped up our already robust hygiene practices. In these efforts, we do not work alone I am grateful for the support we have received from local and national governments and entities, whom we are working in close partnership to overcome this pandemic."
If you are a stranded traveller, please ensure your details are up to date with your local embassy.
