Qatar Airways is looking to restart its Cardiff to Doha route after it was mothballed at the start of the pandemic three years ago. Recommencement of the daily service between Wales and Qatar would provide a timely boost for Cardiff Airport.
Chief executive of Qatar Airways, Akbar Al Baker, told trade press publication Business Travel that its Cardiff route could return this year.
The airline has been asked to clarify the position and whether his reference to this year was in fact the financial year which for Qatar Airways runs from April to March. Cardiff Airport’s understanding, based on its ongoing dialogue with the airline, is that a return is planned for 2024.
