KATHMANDU: Qatar Airways has launched a new commercial policy aimed at providing customers with maximum flexibility to suit their travel plans.

According to the policy, passengers who have already booked or will book flights for travel up to 30 June 2020 will be offered the flexibility to change their travel plans free of charge.

Passengers can alter the dates of their booking or exchanging their tickets for a travel voucher valid for one year.

The Airways said both changes apply up to three days prior to departure.

This has been designed to provide Qatar Airways’ passengers with confidence and peace of mind when booking flights in light of COVID-19 and its impact on global travel.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Bakar informed that the safety, security and good health of the passengers and employees have been the Airways’ highest priority.

“Although we maintain the very highest standards of hygiene across all parts of the business, we recognize that some passengers may wish to alter their existing travel plans. We hope this new policy, alongside our robust hygiene practices and safety record, will allow our passengers to travel with confidence,” he said.
