Qatar Airways Operates Limited Flights to and from Doha Following Airspace Closure
Qatar Airways has announced a limited flight schedule as its regular operations remain temporarily suspended due to the closure of Qatari airspace. The airline stated it is working to support affected passengers and facilitate travel where possible while awaiting further updates from aviation authorities.
The carrier stated that it continues to assist passengers during the disruption and is making arrangements to help travellers reach their destinations or reunite with family members. Qatar Airways noted that full scheduled operations will resume once the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority confirms that Qatari airspace has fully reopened and it is safe to restore normal services.
Following temporary authorisation from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority, limited operating corridors have been approved. Based on this approval, Qatar Airways plans to operate several flights over the coming days to assist passengers affected by the disruption.
