Qatar Airways suspends flights from Doha to Asmara

Qatar Airways is one of the few international airlines which flew to Asmara, leaving less than a handful of others like FlyDubai, Turkish, and Egypt Air connecting the Eritrean capital to the rest of the world.

Eritrea, a country with a huge tourism potential of beaches and historical sites combined, has struggled to attract any meaningful number of tourists as a result of the country’s political course and growing isolation.
