Dubai: Qatar Airways Thursday said its flights to Syria are “fully operational” defying the recent media reports stating the Doha carrier had suspended Syria operations as a result of sanctions imposed by the Arab League.
“Qatar Airways has only reduced frequency from 10 flights a week to 7 services each week to and from Damascus due to a reduction in traffic,” the carrier said in a statement, adding that passengers holding reservations on the three cancelled flights have been re-booked on the other Damascus services.
The airline further said that it continues to operate flights to both Damascus and Aleppo as per schedules.
“Qatar Airways confirms scheduled passenger flights to and from Syria are fully operational and that reports the airline has suspended services are completely unfounded,” it said in the statement.
