Operations update March 6 2026 - Qatari Airspace closure

Dear Partner,

Qatar Airways 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 reopening of Qatari airspace. A further update will be provided on March 7 by 09:00 Doha time (06:00 UTC).

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

Your clients are kindly requested not to proceed to the airport unless they have received an official notification from Qatar Airways confirming their flight.

For your clients currently in Doha, airline representatives are available in designated hotels to assist with questions regarding relief flights and travel arrangements.

We are continuing to closely monitor the situation and will share further updates as soon as they become available.

The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew remains our highest priority. We apologise for the disruption caused by circumstances beyond our control due to the temporary airspace closure and thank you for your patience.

Please advise your clients to monitor the latest flight information via qatarairways.com or the Qatar Airways mobile app.
