Qatar Airways’ Uzbek Hiring Push: Why a 1,600-Specialist Plan Matters Now

Qatar Airways will recruit 65 workers from Uzbekistan in May and June for roles including flight attendants and engineers, Uzbek state media said. The airline may later hire up to 1,600 Uzbek specialists as it rebuilds its network after cutting U.S. flights by 49% for Q2 2026. A labor forum with over 50 Qatari employers is planned in Tashkent in September. Details on pay, visas, and training remain unclear.
