Leading the way through uncertain times
Since the start of the pandemic, Qatar Airways has been leading the aviation industry by being one of the very few airlines that operated throughout the COVID-19 crisis. The airline has never stopped flying and has played a critical role in global repatriation efforts by bringing over 3.2 million passengers worldwide home safely since March 2020.
The Qatar national carrier has maintained its Australian routes throughout the pandemic across Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth while launching services to Brisbane to provide essential connectivity to Australia. It has carried over 330,000 passengers in and out of Australia since March 2020 via both commercial flights and special chartered services.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “When you travel with Qatar Airways, you’re flying with the world’s best airline as we strive for excellence in every aspect of our business. We have proven to be a safe and reliable airline for customers and our trade partners as we stand by them through good and bad times by never stopping flying throughout the pandemic.
“We are proud to have maintained services to Australia by operating an honest and stable network, even expanding our Australian operations during the crisis, and transporting hundreds of tonnes of cargo to maintain vital supply chains for Australian agriculture exporters.
As Australia reopens, we invite passengers to rediscover the world with the world’s best airline as we remain committed to serving Australia. Passengers can travel with peace of mind knowing that Qatar Airways is committed to safety, and our 5-star COVID-19 safety rating is a testament to our efforts to stay the leading global airline for biosafety.”
The airline’s award-winning Doha airport hub, Hamad International Airport (HIA), has also earned the Skytrax 5-stars COVID-19 Safety ratings, making Qatar Airways the only Middle-Eastern carrier where both the airline and its airport secured the highest Skytrax safety ratings.
