Talking to media both local and international correspondents in Doha, Akbar Al Baker, Chief 
Executive Officer of Qatar Airways told this morning that Qatar Airways is evaluating the 
offer made two days earlier for the use of two air routes. 

Qatar registered aircrafts are blocked from using the airspace of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, 
United Arab Emirates and Egypt as part of economic sanctions enforced by the four countries
since 5th of June 2017.

Qatar Airways is looking at "the flexibility and benefit" of one "very short route" while 
another route off the Egyptian coast was 'useless' to the airline, Al-Baker said at a Doha 
press conference on a question by www.asiantelegraphqatar.com.

The press conference held at the Hotel Oryx Rotana Doha convened jointly by Qatar Tourism 
Authority, Immigration Department of Ministry of Interior, and Qatar Airways. Qatar 
announced today free of cost visit visa on arrival for 80 countries.
