Qatar Airways has become the largest global carrier flying more than 50mn kilometres to repatriate in excess of 1.8mn passengers on over 15,000 flights following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Covid-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for the global aviation industry, the national airline said yesterday. Qatar Airways led the industry during these challenging times taking people home safely and reliably on more flights to more destinations than any other airline.

These efforts have established the carrier as the airline passengers, governments and industry partners can rely on and trust.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive HE Akbar al-Baker said: “During this crisis more passengers have chosen to fly with Qatar Airways than any other airline, and we appreciate the trust they have placed in us.”

“Our wide network of flights during this period has ensured we keep up with the latest international airport procedures and implement the most advanced safety and hygiene measures on board our aircraft and in our award winning home and hub, Hamad International Airport, recently voted the Best Airport in the Middle East for the sixth consecutive year.”

Qatar Airways is a carrier that has been recognized as the ‘World’s Best Airline’ on five occasions by Skytrax, built significant goodwill with governments and embassies as they assisted stranded citizens and most importantly, been available non-stop for stranded passengers during the pandemic.

Qatar Airways plans on being there 24×7 during the darkest days and will continue to be a friend in need as confidence returns and people restart their travel plans.

As the global recovery from Covid-19 begins, the airline recently announced plans to gradually rebuild its network in line with passenger demand evolution and the expected relaxation of entry restrictions around the world.

By the end of June, the airline plans to expand its network to 80 destinations with more to be added by the end of the Summer Season.
