More than 150,000 football fans have flown from Dubai to Doha in the first two weeks of the Fifa World Cup, said dnata, an airport services provider.
Football fever has gripped not just the UAE and Qatar but the entire region as the world’s largest football event is taking place for the first time in the Middle East.
Dnata, a global air and travel services provider, said it ensures that fans make a smooth passage through Dubai World Central airport (DWC).
Currently, flydubai and Qatar Airways are operating special flights dedicated to the World Cup. As per an agreement signed earlier, the two carriers would operate 60 flights per day from Dubai to Doha during the mega event.
“Dnata’s services between DWC and Doha have enabled more than 600 safe aircraft movements in the first fortnight of the competition. To execute this, over 270 customer-oriented and ramp agents have been re-positioned from existing positions at Dubai International airport (DXB),” dnata said on Thursday.
