EgyptAir opens office in Qatar

Egypt’s national airline opened an office in the Qatari capital Tuesday, in a further sign that Egypt-Qatar relations are getting back to normal. EgyptAir inaugurated its Doha office during a conference for airlines in the Arab world. The airline’s chairman, Amr Abu El-Enein, attended the ceremony, as did Akbar Al-Baker, who is CEO of Qatar Airways, the Egyptian state-owned news outlet Al-Ahram reported. Egypt and Qatar started mending ties in January when Kuwait brokered an end to the Qatar diplomatic crisis. In 2017, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain all severed relations with Qatar, accusing the Gulf state of supporting terrorism, which Qatar has denied. <br/>
