Qatar Airways

The Doha-based carrier’s burgundy oryx has remained at the center of its fleet identity for two decades.

The carrier expects to have all of its Dreamliners equipped by the end of the year.

Passengers arriving from Doha will not have to recheck their luggage for a connecting flight.

Flights are now operating daily.

The Doha-based carrier last served the city in 2023.

The specially painted Boeing 777 will operate in Europe, the U.S., and Asia before and during the tournament.

Airspace in Israel and much of the Arab Gulf region is closed.

Military activity in the Persian Gulf has brought commercial aviation to a grinding halt in the region.

Additional flights to Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban will start in February and March.

Nearly 120 of the carrier’s widebody aircraft are now equipped with the satellite-based technology.
