Qatar Airways announced in an update that it will operate a revised limited number of flights from March 18 to March 28, 2026.
The limited flight schedule which covers over 70 destinations worldwide, has been enhanced to provide greater flexibility for passengers wishing to travel during this period.
Qatar Airways flew to over 170 destinations worldwide, connecting through its Doha hub, before the Middle East conflict started on 28 February.
The carrier had announced the temporary suspension of its flights to, and from, Doha due to the closure of Qatari airspace on 28 February and had been resuming flights on a small scale in early March.
The airline stated, “With Qatar Airways scheduled flight operations still temporarily suspended due to the closure of Qatari airspace, we want you to know that we are doing our utmost to support you with your journey, and to reunite you with your family and loved ones. We recognise this situation may be unsettling and are working to keep you moving while we prepare for the safe return of our usual operations.
Following temporary authorisation from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority confirming limited operating corridors, Qatar Airways intends to operate the following flight schedule in the coming days to support passengers who have been affected by the current disruption, and to help them reunite with family and friends as quickly and safely as possible.”
