Flights from COVID-stricken India still possible through Doha, posing risk to government travel ban
Australian travel restrictions with India are not as watertight as some federal authorities had hoped, with Qatar Airways confirming it remains possible to travel from India to Australia through Doha.
Key points:
- Qatar airways has confirmed to the ABC that people can still travel from India to Australia via Doha
- Scott Morrison previously suggested travelling through third countries from India would be near-impossible
- Flights from India to Australia have been paused until May 15
Two Australian cricketers are demonstrating just how straightforward travel to Australia can be, arriving on a flight from Doha on Thursday afternoon.
It is understood they have received no special permissions to return, travelling under the existing rules.
