Major airlines in the world such as Qatar Airways are also playing a big role in this situation by bringing back citizens to their home country. Despite the challenges faced in the aviation industry, flight cancellations and various airport closures as a result of the global pandemic, Qatar operates Triple Daily Service to Frankfurt and Daily service to Munich for German nationals and their family members.
