Qatar Airways has expanded its route network to over 650 weekly flights across more than 90 destinations, as it continues to rebuild following the onset of COVID-19. The carrier also recently received about USD 2 billion in state aid to weather the COVID-19 pandemic, as it posted significant annual losses after enduring one of its "most difficult years".
