"Qatar Airways is requesting financial support from the Qatari government, despite being one of the only airlines continuing to maintain scheduled commercial passenger services.

Over the next two weeks, the business expects to operate 1,800 flights despite the heavy loss of demand and other companies grounding entire fleets.

Qatar Airways has been operating some flights at 50 per cent occupancy or less and if it fills 45 per cent of seats on flights over the next two weeks it will carry about 250,000 passengers. Chief executive Akbar Al Baker told Reuters on Sunday that the carrier could soon run out of the cash needed to continue flying."
