It was an unexpected turn of events for passengers aboard Qatar Airways Flight QR017 en route from Doha to Dublin. As the Boeing 787 Dreamliner soared over Türkiye, turbulence struck, leaving 12 individuals injured.

Despite the unnerving experience, the skilled pilots managed to safely guide the aircraft to its scheduled landing at Dublin Airport around 13:00 local time. However, the ordeal didn't end there.

Upon touchdown, emergency services, including airport police, fire, and rescue units, swiftly sprang into action, attending to the six injured passengers and six crew members.

This incident serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictability of air travel and the importance of remaining vigilant, even in the skies. Here's hoping for a smooth journey ahead for all travelers.

Qatar Airways Resumes Flights to Iran Amidst Regional Tensions


In a recent development that marks a significant step towards normalizing air travel in the region, Qatar Airways has officially resumed its flight operations to Iran. This move comes after a brief suspension due to heightened tensions following Iran's military action against Israel on April 13.
The airline's written statement confirmed the resumption of flights, highlighting that travelers can once again book their journeys to various Iranian cities. A total of 20 weekly flights have been reinstated, connecting the Qatari capital of Doha with Tehran, Mashhad, Shiraz, and Isfahan. These flights are set to facilitate travel for both business and leisure, reaffirming Qatar Airways' commitment to providing connectivity despite the challenges posed by regional conflicts.

The temporary halt in flights had been a response to safety concerns arising from Iran's attack on Israel. However, with the situation stabilizing, the Iran Airports Company has also made an announcement today, declaring that flights from the country's airports are now open in all directions.

This resumption is a welcome relief for many, especially those who rely on air travel for family visits, business dealings, or cultural exchanges. It also reflects the resilience of the aviation industry in adapting to and overcoming disruptions caused by geopolitical events.

As the skies open up once more, passengers can look forward to experiencing Qatar Airways' renowned service, which continues to bridge distances and bring people together, even in the most challenging of times.

Ultraviolet cleaning system for Qatar Airways cabin


 
As the first global carrier to implement Honeywell's Ultraviolet (UV) Cabin System, Qatar Airways takes in-flight hygiene measures further. Clinical tests show that UV light, when applied properly, can inactivate a variety of viruses and bacteria. Approximately the size of a bar cart, the system has extendable UV arms that clean aircraft seats, surfaces and cabinets without using chemicals.

Clinical tests show that UV light can inactivate a variety of viruses and bacteria when properly applied in specific doses. During the unprecedented period, the health and safety of our crew and passengers continues to be of paramount importance to us. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have been regularly implementing new and effective safety and hygiene measures on our aircraft, building on our unique expertise in stable flying. ”

We are working on many business lines, including the Honeywell ThermoRebellion, a new heat monitoring solution, developing new products such as the 'Environmental Control System Audit' that allows airlines to monitor the air flow in the cabin, and a range of 'Personal Protective Equipment'. All of these allow planes and airports to be cleaner and safer. "He said in the form.

Qatar Airways aircraft will continue to be regularly disinfected using cleaning products recommended by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Honeywell UV Cabinet System will be used as an additional step after manual disinfection to ensure the highest standards of cleaning. While the airline continues to wash, dry and press its in-flight linens and blankets at temperatures that destroy germs, it continues to carefully disinfect its headphones after each flight. These products are placed in separate packages by personnel wearing hygienic disposable gloves.

Qatar Airways' aircraft also feature state-of-the-art air filtration systems equipped with industrial-grade HEPA filters that eliminate 99.97% of viral and bacterial contamination and provide the most effective protection against infection.

In July, Qatar Airways further increased its in-flight health and safety measures by introducing new personal protective equipment (PPE) for its passengers and cabin crew. Among the strict measures of the airline, in addition to safety glasses, gloves and a mask; A disposable protective apron for the cabin crew worn over their uniforms, as well as face shields for all passengers, were included.

On board, all Qatar Airways passengers receive a free protective kit. A disposable face mask, large size disposable powder-free gloves and alcohol-based hand sanitizer gel are provided in a sealed pouch. Business Class customers also receive a 75 ml tube of gel disinfectant. Additionally, Business Class customers on Qatar Airways' aircraft equipped with its award-winning business seat, Qsuite, are offered more privacy with sliding partitions and fully closing doors, and the option of "Do Not Disturb (DND)" if they want to limit their interaction with the cabin crew.

Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, the airline has taken different additional health and safety measures in addition to these measures on its flights. In order to minimize contact between the crew and passengers, Business Class meals were served covered on a tray instead of a table layout, and cutlery packages were offered to passengers as an alternative to individual cutlery. Qatar Airways has also expanded the application with disposable menu cards and indoor refreshing wipes. Economy class meals and cutlery are served covered as usual, and menu cards are temporarily out of use. In addition, all social areas on the plane have been closed due to social distance measures.

HIA, the airline's headquarters in Doha, has also launched UV-C disinfectant robots, consisting of fully autonomous mobile devices that emit concentrated UV-C light and placed in high passenger flow areas to reduce the spread of pathogens. Hamad International Airport (HIA), the hub for Qatar Airways, implements strict cleaning procedures and social distancing measures throughout its terminals. Passenger contact points are sterilized at 10-15 minutes intervals and boarding gates and bus doors are cleaned after each flight. In addition, there are hand disinfectants at passport and security screening points.

Qatar Airways, which has many awards, was named "Best Airline in the World" by the 2019 World Airline Awards managed by the international air transport rating agency Skytrax.

• Female flight attendants can only be hired if they are single
• They must remain single for five years after starting work
• If they want to get married they have to ask the airline’s permission
• Pregnancy is a breach of contract and can lead to firing
