Qatar Airways is set to increase the frequency of daily flights from Doha to Maldives starting from 10th December 2020 onwards. From today onwards, Qatar Airways will have 2 daily flights to Maldives and another will be added on the 17th of December 2020.

Qatar Airways operates one of the youngest and most technologically-advanced fleets in the skies. Qatar Airways utilizes Boeing 777-300ER for the two frequencies with 42 business class seats and 312 economy class seats. Boeing 787 Dreamliner will be used on the 3rd frequency with 22 business class seats and 312 economy class seats.

It is anticipated that a good number of tourist arrivals will occur within this festive season. Moreover, Qatar Airways has introduced a unique “Travel Bubble Holiday” package as the company’s latest innovation, which will hopefully take tourist arrival rates to peak. Qatar advises you to book your travel bubble holiday package before 24th December 2020, and you must take your holiday by 7th January 2021.

Maldives reopened its borders to international tourists on 15th July with the reopening of several resorts and liveaboards. Guesthouses also resumed operations on 15th October. There is no quarantine on arrival but all tourists are required to fill an online health declaration form within 24 hours prior to departure and submit a negative COVID-19 PCR test result, conducted maximum 96 hours prior to departure to Maldives.

Maldives has also introduced the first COVID-19 travel insurance in the country, Allied Inbound, which covers medical charges, isolation facility charges, emergency medical transportation charges and interment charges following a positive diagnosis for COVID-19 during their stay in the country.      

The travel industry has been put to a halt due to the current pandemic, but with the reopening of many international borders and resumption of flights between many countries, things are looking up. The industry has become quite innovative in their means of promoting their businesses to attract more customers, and tourists are increasing day by day, while simultaneously keeping them safe.
