If it's approved they are flying a Qatari registered aircraft on a route the CAA has allowed, visas arent required.
Wouldn't the QR crew be based in the UK for the 2 week strike duration and therefore require a right to work in the UK? Don't non-EEA passport holders require a visa to work in the UK?
With EK Athens to NYC or the Kuwait example they are just transiting surely so that's different?
