Qatar Airway has agreed to a request from the federal government to operate two repatriation flights to bring home Australians who are stranded in Lebanon. The proposed flights would go from Cyprus to Sydney via Doha, with Qatar Airways CEO Badr Mohammed Al Meer saying it is committed to providing support to Australian passengers and ensuring their safe return home. Qantas is also operating two repatriation flights from Cyprus at the request of the federal government, with the request from the federal government for Qatar Airways for assistance coming as it assesses a possible investment in Virgin Australia by Qatar Airways.
