Qatar Airways Operational Update – Wednesday 25 March 2020

Our commitment to getting people home stepped up on 24 March with:

-    10,000 extra seats added to its network;

-    The provision of charter services to Europe and the US from Asia;

-    The addition of extra flights to Paris, Perth and Dublin from Doha.

-    Upgrading services to Frankfurt, London Heathrow and Perth with the addition of the Airbus A380 on those routes.

“Figures for the last seven days show load factors of over 80 percent for flights to the UK, France and Germany, with a fall to 36 percent for outbound services from those countries, illustrating the demand for homeward travel.

“Qatar Airways has flown more than 100,000 passengers home in the last seven days while 72 percent of passengers carried on 24 March were nationals flying to their country of origin.

“Working with embassies around the world, the airline has operated one-off services from destinations such as Phnom Penh, Denpasar, Manila and Kuala Lumpur to Europe. More than 5,000 passengers were flown home by these services over the last week, a number that is expected to more than triple over the next week.

“Qatar Airways is currently operating flights to 75 destinations*, though this number may reduce as nations introduce tighter restrictions.”
