Qatar Airways will be the main carrier for this event and they will be responsible for bringing most people.
Just imagine that fans from Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Ecuador should easily account for 30-50k people traveling and how are they supposed to fly if the airlines don't provide extra flights?
The same thing will happen in different parts of the world.
is it politically unacceptable or forbidden for the national flag carriers “or other carriers” of each country to accommodate the extra flights ? It is neither the first time for a world cup “nor an expo” to be held ? Im genuinely asking
