Qatar Airways is in the process of recovering passenger numbers after facing regional disruptions, according to information released during a visit to Hamad International Airport in Doha. The airline is strengthening its routes and expanding its fleet as part of this recovery strategy.

Qatar Airways management used the airport visit to discuss preparations for the winter season, which is traditionally a period of higher demand in the aviation sector. The company is working to ensure it is ready to meet the expected increase in passengers during this season.

The airline also revealed plans to receive new aircraft, which will allow it to increase capacity and offer more options to passengers. This investment in the fleet is part of a broader plan to strengthen Qatar Airways' position in the global aviation market.

Among the announced news, the development of the next generation of Qsuites stands out, the signature business class product of Qatar Airways. This innovation comes as part of the airline's commitment to maintaining its competitiveness and offering a differentiated travel experience to its customers.

Spain should implement the Deposit, Return and Refund System (SDDR) for plastic packaging and cans in supermarkets in November 2026, but this deadline will not be met because the necessary administrative machinery has not yet been set in motion. In contrast, Portugal launched the same system in April and is achieving impressive results, with a significant increase in recycling and reuse rates, drastically reducing the number of bottles that end up in the environment.
