It was an embarrassment returning to this country on another airline.
I don't believe Qatar Airways flew most Aussies home. Whilst it's true for a short period Jul-Oct 20 the airline enjoyed the largest market share, ostensibly because other countries erred on the side of caution in the face of a biosecurity emergency, Singapore Airlines rapidly regained market share by Christmas 2020 and arguably deserves the title of airline carrying most Australians home during the pandemic. But that annoying fact never gets headlines.
