Qatar Airways has dismissed reports about the closure of its offices in Pakistan, stating that “flights to and from Pakistan are operating as usual, and offices remain open.”
In an email to Profit, Qatar Airways APAC Public Relations Coordinator Ellie Tan clarified, “Recently published reports claiming that Qatar Airways has closed offices in Pakistan are incorrect.”
On Tuesday, some local news outlets reported that Qatar Airways had closed its offices across Pakistan as part of a cost-cutting initiative.
The move was said to impact departments such as counter sales, administration, and finance, with the airline transitioning to ticket sales through agents and online platforms. Direct ticket sales from Qatar Airways offices would reportedly no longer be available.
Contrary to these claims, Qatar Airways said that it has not closed any offices in Pakistan. “Our flight schedules remain unaffected, and there has been no such shutdown.”
