“Qatar Airways continues to work closely with government­s around the world to resume commercial flights in line with entry restrictio­ns. The airline is hopeful further commercial flight restrictio­ns will be eased throughout July, with the carrier planning to resume almost two thirds of its pre-COVID-19 network by the end of the month. The airline expects its number of flights to almost double in July with close to 3,500 flights scheduled, compared to just under 2,100 in June,” it added.

QA has led the industry during these challengin­g times accumulati­ng unrivalled experience in carrying passengers safely and reliably.
