Qatar adds 28 frequencies
30 March 2020:In an attempt to repatriate stranded Australian citizen, Qatar Airways has expanded operations to Australia. This is the first time that Qatar Airways is operating services to Brisbane. With an addition of 28 frequencies and approx. 48,000 extra seats, the main gateways are Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr Akbar Al Baker, said "We know there are many people who want to be with their families and loved ones during this difficult time. We are thankful to the Australian Government, Airports and staff for their support in helping us to add additional flights to get people home, and in particular, to bring flights to Brisbane."
"We continue to operate around 150 daily flights to more than 70 cities worldwide. Sometimes governments put in place restrictions that mean we simply cannot fly to a country. We are working closely with governments around the world, and wherever possible we will reinstate or add more flights."
Qatar Airways maintains highest hygiene standards like regular disinfection of aircraft, use of the most advanced air filtration systems, equipped with industrial-size HEPA filters that remove 99.97 per cent of viral and bacterial contaminants from re-circulated air, use of cleaning products recommended by IATA and WHO, thermal screening of crew, washing all on-board linen and blankets, removal of ear foams from headsets and sanitise them regularly, cleaning of all meal service utensils and cutlery with detergents and rinsing them with demineralized fresh water at temperatures that kill pathogens.
Qatar Aircraft Catering Company (QACC) was the first organisation in the world last year to achieve ISO22000:2018 certification from Bureau Veritas with UKAS accreditation, confirming its Food Safety Management System meets the highest standards.
