While Qatari airspace is still closed due to the conflict in the Middle East, Qatar Airways has announced it will be operating a limited number of flights to and from Doha on 12 and 13 March 2026. The flights will allow some of those who are stranded in the region to continue their journey and local residents to return home.
Given the current security crisis in the Middle East following the Israel-U.S. attack on Iran, air traffic in the region has been severely impacted. At the moment of writing, Qatari airspace is still closed, which caused Qatar Airways to halt its operations.
