Qatar Airways is also leading the way in making flying the safest form of transport from an operational and health perspective.
Qatar Airways maintains the very highest levels in airline safety, hygiene standards and procedures where its passenger’s experience remains the top priority.
The airline’s fleet is one the world’s youngest with the state-of-the-art 787s and A350s backed up by 777s and A380s for long-haul.
The airline is continually reviewing its processes for ensuring cabin cleanliness and all aircraft are disinfected regularly as part of the normal cleaning process and has led the industry since the Coronavirus started to spread.
After each flight into Doha, the aircraft interiors go through rigorous fumigation with all surfaces wiped down with special disinfectant.
Armrests, tray tables, video screens, sidewalls all get the treatment, while seat covers are removed. Even the ceiling is cleaned to a factory new condition.
But this is only the start with the airline’s staff trained with the latest hygiene protocols and cleaning procedures, using products recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Air Transport Association.
