✈Qatar Airways has postponed Sarajevo relaunch

Qatar Airways has postponed  relaunch of Doha-Sarajevo flights for winter timetable 2021/22. This is second time for Qatar Airways to postpone Sarajevo relaunch after the flights were suspended in March of 2020 due to global pandemic. The restoration of diplomatic relations between Qatar and four Arab states is set to have big impact on Qatar Airways. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to restore ties with Qatar, ending a blockade that has been in place for more than three years. 

Largest number of passengers on Qatar Airways flights from Doha to Sarajevo are transfer passengers from Australia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait. Due to pandemic causing many borders to be closed transfer passengers are almost non existent, forcing Qatar Airways to postpone Sarajevo relaunch once again. In general air travel from and to Sarajevo during winter months is minimal, making return of flights from Doha in November very unlikely. Relaunch of Doha-Sarajevo flights most likely will happened in March of 2022, with possibility of daily flights from June 2022.
