Ambassador of Germany to Qatar HE Hans-Udo Muzel has thanked Qatar Airways for flying thousands of Germans from all over Asia to their homes in Germany at this crucial time, in spite of the challenges faced in the aviation industry amid the global pandemic, flight cancellations and airport closures.
The envoy expressed his gratitude to the airline during a meeting with Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar al Baker. While the government has restricted entry into Germany since March 18, the airline continues to operate flights for German nationals and their family members, as well as other nationals residing in Germany.
The airline operates triple daily service to Frankfurt (Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-300ER) and daily service to Munich (Boeing 777-300ER).
Baker said, “We understand that this is truly a challenging time where everyone’s mission is to reach home safely to see their loved ones. Through our 130 daily flights to more than 65 cities worldwide, we believe in sparing no effort to go the extra mile when it comes to taking our passengers home. We are continuing to work closely with embassies and governments around the world, and wherever possible, we will reinstate or add more flights as needed.”
Ambassador Muzel said, “We are very grateful to Qatar Airways for the work they have done to repatriate German citizens. I wanted to personally thank Mr. Akbar al Baker for the support he and his dedicated team have provided in making sure that flights from various destinations in Asia to Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich have been operating so that families can be reunited back at home.”
Qatar Airways recently launched a new commercial policy to allow all passengers the flexibility to alter travel plans up to three days prior to departure for flights booked till September 30, 2020. This flexibility enables passengers to change their travel plans free of charge by altering the dates of their booking or exchanging their ticket for a travel voucher valid for one year.
The travel voucher will be equal to the value of their unutilised ticket – plus an additional 10 percent, excluding statutory taxes. This policy includes award flights.
