Qatar Airways to Operate Limited Flights Amid Airspace Closure

Qatar Airways announces limited flights to and from Doha from March 18 to 28, prioritizing passenger safety and continuity of services.

The airline confirmed that partial operations remain suspended due to the ongoing closure of Qatar’s airspace. It emphasised ongoing efforts to assist passengers affected by flight disruptions and ensure their safe return to families and destinations.

Qatar Airways is working intensively to maintain essential services while preparing to resume full operations once the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority announces airspace reopening. This decision will depend on approvals from relevant authorities.

The airline enhanced its limited flight schedule to provide flexibility for passengers traveling during this period. Travelers are urged to check updated schedules on the Qatar Airways website, official app, or via travel agents. Passengers with confirmed bookings will receive direct notifications regarding their flights. Updating contact information is essential to ensure timely communication.

Flight schedules may change or be cancelled due to operational, regulatory, or safety conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances. Qatar Airways stressed that passengers should not go to the airport unless holding a confirmed booking.

Passengers holding tickets for travel between February 28 and March 28, 2026, can choose from two options. They may reschedule flights twice to a new date up to April 30, 2026, without additional fees using qatarairways.com/rebook. Alternatively, they can claim a full refund for unused tickets.

The airline continues to focus on passenger safety while maintaining operational efficiency amid airspace restrictions. Qatar Airways also coordinates closely with aviation authorities to ensure compliance with all safety requirements.

Passengers are encouraged to plan travel carefully, monitor updates, and follow official announcements to avoid disruptions. The airline’s measures aim to provide clarity and support while navigating the temporary operational limitations.
