Qatar Airways says they will always have a good heart to serve the masses of the African continent with non stop flights. According to the vice president of the airline in Africa Hendrik du Preez said they never stopped flying, even during the worst periods of the global Covid-19 pandemic.
Speaking to Fin24 du Preez adds, “while navigating one of the worst periods the airlines industry has ever faced, lessons learnt have enabled Qatar Airways to have a head start. The Middle Eastern airline has already rebuilt its network to where it was before the pandemic started.”
“Even during worst times of the pandemic, we never stopped flying to at least 30 destinations. We tried to keep people connected, including working with the SA government on a considerable number of repatriation flights.
“We constantly evaluated demand to see where there were opportunities for us. In fact, we have even launched new destinations in Africa over the last nine months – including Harare in Zimbabwe, Lusaka in Zambia, Luanda in Angola and Abuja in Nigeria,” Du Preez adds.
Qatar Airways offer flights to and from Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban via Johannesburg.
