The airline reassured customers that its services in Pakistan continue to operate seamlessly.
The clarification comes after several news outlets claimed the airline was implementing cost-cutting measures by closing its offices in major cities, impacting departments such as counter sales and finance.
Qatar Airways’ performance
Interestingly, these claims surfaced just as Qatar Airways announced resuming flights to Damascus after a 13-year hiatus. The airline hailed it as a “significant step in reconnecting the region.”
Furthermore, Qatar Airways posted impressive financial results last year, with a 39 percent surge in annual net profit to 6.1 billion Qatari riyals ($1.67 billion) and revenue growth of 6 percent. The airline transported over 40 million passengers, boasting an 83 percent load factor.
