Qatar Airways to boost workforce by hiring 10,000 staff amid World Cup preparations

Qatar Airways is boosting its workforce by 10,000 to handle an influx of passengers flying into Doha for the soccer World Cup and in line with a broader post-pandemic expansion, the airline told Reuters.

The Doha-based carrier is in the midst of a recruitment drive which will lift its total workforce to more than 55,000 from around 45,000 currently, a spokesperson, who declined to be named. “Qatar Airways is on a growth trajectory following Covid and with World Cup preparations in full swing it is ramping up recruitment across the airline,” the company said in a statement to Reuters this week.
