Qatar Airways helps a large number of Germans reach home
Qatar Airways has helped thousands of Germans reach home from different countries amid the worldwide flight cancellations and travel restrictions enforced after the novel coronavirus outbreak.
"As the government has restricted entry in Germany since March 18, the airline continued to use flights for German nationals and their members of the family, along with other nationals surviving in Germany," the airline said in a statement recently.
These flights include triple daily service to Frankfurt and daily service to Munich.
The move was discussed in a meeting between Qatar Airways Group LEADER Akbar al-Baker and German Ambassador to Doha Hans-Udo Muzel.
Muzel expressed his gratitude to Qatar Airways for flying a large number of Germans from around Asia with their homes in Germany at this crucial time, in spite of the challenges faced in the aviation industry posed by the global pandemic, flight cancellations and different airport closures, the statement added.
Qatar Airways recently launched a fresh commercial policy to permit all passengers the overall flexibility to improve travel plans up to three days ahead of departure for flights booked till September 30.
This flexibility enables passengers to improve their travel plans cost-free by altering the dates of their booking or exchanging their ticket for a travel voucher valid for just one year.
