Qatar Airways scheduled flight operations remain temporarily suspended due to the closure of Qatari airspace. Qatar Airways will resume operations once the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority announces the safe full reopening of Qatari airspace by the relevant authorities. A further update will be provided on 8 March by 09:00 Doha time (06:00 UTC).
Following temporary authorisation from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority confirming a safe operating corridor, Qatar Airways intends to operate repatriation flights on 07 March, departing from Hamad International Airport to the following airports: London (LHR), Paris (CDG), Madrid (MAD), Rome (FCO) and Frankfurt (FRA).
Priority on these flights was given to stranded passengers with families, elderly passengers, and those with urgent medical and compassionate travel needs. Each flight was pre-allocated by Qatar Airways directly to such affected passengers.
These flights do not constitute a confirmation of resumption of scheduled commercial operations.
Passengers are kindly requested not to proceed to the airport unless they have already received an official notification from Qatar Airways for these flights.
Qatar Airways has contacted affected passengers directly with their assigned flight details, travel arrangements and next steps.
We are working around the clock to organise additional relief flights where operationally possible and will share further updates as soon as they are confirmed.
Please ensure your contact details are up to date so we can reach you with flight information and instructions. Details can be updated at
qatarairways.com or through the Qatar Airways mobile app.
The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew remain our highest priority during this period of disruption. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the current situation, which is beyond our control, and thank our passengers for their patience and understanding.
As a continuing measure, please be reminded that if you have a confirmed booking with a travel date between 28 February and 15 March 2026, you are eligible for:
- Complimentary date changes of up to 14 days from the original travel date, or
- Refund of the unused value of your ticket.
