CEO of Flight Centre, Graham Turner, has discussed his concerns with the government’s decision to block additional flights by Qatar Airways. 

Turner emphasised that Australia is experiencing a notable shortage of flight capacity for both arrivals and departures.

“It’s not only Qatar… There are other airlines too that hopefully will bring extra capacity in…” he explained.

“This would have been a boost to the travel industry, to the tourism industry, and to people who really can’t afford to pay what are essentially 40 or 50 per cent higher fares than they were pre-COVID”.
