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."

"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.
