Sheree Richardson posted a number of photos to her Facebook page, showing her children sprawled on the floor of Heathrow Airport after reportedly being bumped from a number of Qatar flights in favour of customers will to pay for a business class fare.
In July, the Federal Government shrunk the number of international arrivals allowed in capital cities per week, with just 350 permitted in Sydney, 500 each in Brisbane and Adelaide, and 525 in Perth. In Canberra and Darwin, limits on flights are decided by the jurisdictions on a case-by-case basis. There are no international flights into Hobart or Melbourne.
“Due to the restrictions on passengers travelling to Australian destinations, Qatar Airways can only carry a limited number of passengers per day to certain destinations,” a spokesperson said. “In order to ensure the continued viability of our operations to Australia commercial value of tickets sold must also be taken into consideration to be able to operate each flight.
