Qatar Airways has announced that it is resuming services to Budapest from June 15, 2020. Hungary’s capital resumes scheduled services with three weekly flights operated by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
As one of the only global airlines to have maintained a significant schedule throughout this crisis, Qatar Airways is uniquely positioned to monitor trends in traffic flow and passenger bookings, according to the company's press release. The airline has scheduled these flights to connect seamlessly via its award-winning hub, Hamad International Airport, with key European destinations, including London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Madrid.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker pointed out that they were "excited to resume scheduled flights to Budapest. During this crisis, we have become one of the largest global carriers flying over 50 million kilometres to repatriate over 1.8 million passengers on nearly 15,000 flights. This has enabled us to accumulate unrivaled experience of how to safely and reliably carry passengers during these uncertain times. Our wide network of flights during these challenging times has ensured we have kept up to date with the latest in international airport procedures and implemented the most advanced safety & hygiene measures on board our aircraft and in our home and hub, Hamad International Airport. We have been the airline passengers can rely on during this crisis and we will continue to ensure the safest and most reliable experience for our passengers as global travel recovers.”
Qatar Airways has further enhanced its onboard safety measures for passengers and cabin crew. The airline has implemented several changes, including the introduction of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) suits for cabin crew while onboard, as well as a modified service that reduces interactions between the passengers and the crew in flight. Cabin crew have already been wearing PPE during flights for a number of weeks, including gloves and face masks. Passengers will also be required to wear face coverings in flight, with the carrier recommending travelers bring their own for fit and comfort purposes.
