The FIFA World Cup 2022 is soon to be taking place in Qatar and in a bid to prepare for an influx of visitors Qatar Airways are hiring staff.
Planning to return to a pre-pandemic staffing level, the airline is expanding its workforce by 10,000. Wow.
Proving that all hands are on deck for the FIFA World Cup, the Doha-based airline is upping the staff levels from its current 45,000 to 55,000.

The update was shared with Reuters this week with the company telling the outlet: “Qatar Airways is on a growth trajectory following COVID and with World Cup preparations in full swing it is ramping up recruitment across the airline.”
It is not clear if the new roles will be permanent or just for the football tournament.
The 2022 World Cup will be taking place between November 20 to December 18 and if you will be heading from Abu Dhabi you can use the flydubai shuttle service via Dubai.
It will take fans to and from Doha for match day without having to book an overnight stay.
The flydubai shuttle flights will depart from Dubai World Central (DWC) rather than Dubai International Airport (DXB).
You’ll have to have a World Cup ticket to board the shuttles, with fans told to arrive in Doha between five to six hours before kick-off and plan a departure time at least four hours after the match finishes.
You’ll also need your Hayya Card.
