They are deporting Qatari citizens living in Bahrain, KSA, and UAE! Shows you how civilised they are!
I for one will never fly any of the ME3! No need to sponsor terror and dictatorships!

Re: June 2017 Gulf crisis: The World vs Qatar
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is in talks to bring back Pakistani passengers of Qatar Airlines stranded in Doha after Saudi Arabia and four other Arab countries cut off ties with Qatar, an official said on Tuesday.
The Pakistani passengers were supposed to fly to Saudi Arabia via Doha to perform Umrah, a religious ritual, at Mecca.

Re: June 2017 Gulf crisis: The World vs Qatar
Qatar’s $1-billion ransom deal to release royal family members kidnapped in Iraq was allegedly one of the reasons the Gulf monarchies’ decided to severe diplomatic ties with Doha, the Financial Times reports, citing sources close to the case.

IATA calls for restoring air links with Qatar
The International Air Transport Association has called on the countries that acted against Qatar to restore air links with the country, warning of major travel disruptions. "Of course we accept that countries have the right to close their borders," said IATA director general Alexandre de Juniac. "But connectivity with Qatar must be restored as quickly as possible."

Re: June 2017 Gulf crisis: The World vs Qatar
There is possibly a big pressure from oneworld on IATA. Many oneworld airlines rely on QR for connecting flights!
On related news, Kuwait plans to mediate the rift between Qatar and the governments of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE and Bahrain.

UAE threatens Qatar sympathisers with 3-15 years in jail and fines no less than (equivalent) EUR 120.000..
Including people posting on social media, whatsapp, e mails. in other words anyone questioning UAE stance on Qatar will be robbed by the state and imprisoned!!!
Way to go!!! Qatari students in the UAE not allowed to finish their terms.. and exams in June.. families with dual citizenship asked to leave the UAE!!! Even infants!
Food for thought before booking a flight On Emirates or Etihad!

I guess EK is a private company...but maybe I'm confused ? One of the two EAU companies is public and the other one is "private". But not in the sense that we hear it in us no doubt.
Re: June 2017 Gulf crisis: The World vs Qatar
EK is not private!
I always refused to fly them.

Modern aircraft have now fuel efficient engines.
Helps reducing the CO2 emissions....
Do frequent fliers get the nominal or actual mileage credit ?
What a world !

Re: June 2017 Gulf crisis: The World vs Qatar
"The World" versus Q? Again, what a blown-up title.
AFAICS, it is rather "the potentates from the nearby tent camp" standing up. "The world" remaining remarkably silent.
But I will admit this is only political speculation, admins pls. feel free to remove.

Re: June 2017 Gulf crisis: The World vs Qatar
Beeing remarqueably silent is an act in my eyes. But yeah, stupid title, mea maxima culpa

Re: June 2017 Gulf crisis: The World vs Qatar
No need to apologise, mon cher. It wasn't you who created that thread title, I think? All is up to the moderator team - as long as they can live with it, who would I be to complain?
And yes, indeed, being remarkably silent is really an act, a deliberate act.
