DOHA: Singaporean pilot Parthiban Karunanithi always thought about opening a cafe of his own. But it was an idea that never fully formed."When the pandemic hit and when the flying reduced drastically, I thought there was a good opportunity for us to jump into this."

"I was in the car and I was depressed, I was shocked. It took a while for everything to set in ... And then I told myself: 'You know what? I shouldn't be worrying so much'," he recalled. Sensing a"huge gap" in the consumer market, the Singaporean decided to open Xuan Tea with a partner, who had expertise in making such drinks.

"We found huge potential in this area. It is near the cross section, and at least eight cabin crew accommodations were within a 5km radius," said Mr Chou.
