Qatar Airways announced on Thursday that the closure of Qatari airspace has temporarily suspended all flight operations. Services will resume only once the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority confirms it is safe to reopen.

Limited relief flights

The carrier announced it will operate a limited number of relief flights from March 5. Planned services include:

    Muscat to London Heathrow, Berlin, Copenhagen, Madrid, Rome, and Amsterdam

    Riyadh to Frankfurt

Qatar Airways stressed that passengers should not travel to airports unless they have received an official notification. The airline will contact affected passengers directly with flight details, travel arrangements, and next steps.

Contact details must be updated

Passengers are advised to update their contact information via qatarairways.com or the Qatar Airways mobile app to ensure they receive timely instructions.

Monitoring situation closely

The airline confirmed it will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as soon as new information becomes available.
