20220526 hamad airport — ALL ROADS WILL LEAD TO DOHA- AND FLIGHTS TOO: Football lovers in the UAE and Gulf have reasons to be pleased by this week’s developments, with carriers deploying more flights to Doha come late November, when the action unfolds for the matches that will lead to the winner of the Fifa World Cup 2022 edition. The announcements of new flights by the likes of flydubai and Saudia are timely. They serve notice of what’s available for all those wanting to hop over to catch a match time to plan. These new frequencies will also reduce the chances of ticket rates soaring into the Dh6,000-Dh7,000 realms, as many had been fearing for some time now. Will more flights be added between now and November by more airlines? Anything would help if the price of a ticket to Doha rests easy on the pockets. And all those wanting to make the trip need only have the match-ups and players in their minds. [COMMENT BY: Manoj Nair, Business Editor] Image Credit: Shutterstock

OPN EDITS — CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL: REVENGE ON LIVERPOOL’S MIND: Revenge will be on the minds of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool who are seeking to cap a remarkable season by avenging their 2018 defeat against Real Madrid when the sides meet again in the Champions League final in Paris on Saturday. ‘’ We have a score to settle,’’ remarked Mo Salah, who was felled by a cynical shoulder charge by Sergio Ramos and had to leave the field in tears. It’s the Reds’ third final in five seasons, after they followed their 3-1 loss to Real in Kyiv by beating Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid a year later, and they are widely seen as slight favourites at the Stade de France to become kings of Europe for a seventh time. Real Madrid, most successful team in the history of the tournament, are looking for their 14th title. [COMMENT BY: Gautam Bhattaacharyya, Senior Associate Editor] Image Credit: AFP

OPN EDITS — A FORCE FOR CHANGE: Just a few years ago, it would have been unheard of for a band from South Korea to be invited to the White House on official business. However, the K-Pop group BTS has changed the game. They’re set to meet US President Joe Biden next week, amid AANHPI (Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) Heritage Month, to discuss Asian inclusion and representation. Through their career, the septet have used their unprecedented global fame to drive change and inspire others. They’re a prime example of celebrities who are a force for good in the world.[COMMENT BY: Jennifer Barretto, Assistant Editor – Features] Image Credit: AFP
