Qatar Airways will continue flight operations as long as necessary to get stranded travellers home, Chief Executive Akbar al-Baker said on Sunday, but warned that the carrier could soon run out of cash.

“We have enough cash to take us through a very short period of time,” he said in a phone interview, reports Reuters.

He said the airline would eventually have to seek support from its owner, the Qatar government.

The Middle East carrier is one of few global airlines to continue operate after the coronavirus decimated travel demand almost overnight.
