Shown today is the departure out of Dubai International Airport onboard a Qatar Airways Airbus A330, taken from the business class of this short flight to Doha Hamad International Airport, in Qatar. As of this week, this route will cease to exist, as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Libya, The Maldives, and Yemen, have chosen to cease all diplomatic relations with Qatar, enforcing a full embargo of transportation, trade, and communications. This will result in all Qatar Airways flights being banned from the respective airspaces and FIR’s, exept for the Bahrain and UAE airspaces, because of the Chicago Convention’s freedom of flight. According to CH-aviation, Qatar Airways flights, to those countries which are now embargoing Qatar, covers around 18.12 % of Qatar Airways daily seats on the global market. This also means that airlines such as Emirates and Etihad Airways will cease to operate to and from Doha.  Qatari flights going to North America and Europe will also be forced to take a longer route, which will increase the expenses of the airline. We could see Qatar Airways opening up more routes to more European and Asian destinations, to cover up the lost revenue from the now closed flights. 

Now, to get away from the political aspects of today’s events, who doesn’t love the sound of those engines? It is a magnificent roar which you only get when you sit in front of the engines. Before the embargo there had been around 22 daily flights between Dubai and Doha with Qatar Airways, Emirates and FlyDubai, flying a wide verity of planes such as the A320 and Boeing 737 family, to larger planes as A330’s, A350’s and Boeing 777’s. 

We hope you enjoy this unique video of a Qatar A330 departure out of Dubai International Airport since it will be history very soon. 

Safe flying!
