Al Jazeera reporter boards first flight to Doha since war on Iran

In March 2026, Qatar partially reopened its airspace following the US-Israel war on Iran, leading to the resumption of limited Qatar Airways operations. Al Jazeera reporter Osama Bin Javaid was aboard the first flight to Doha from Paris after the airspace reopening. The event marks a significant step towards restoring air travel in the region, which has experienced widespread disruptions due to the conflict. Thousands of passengers continue to face travel challenges despite the partial resumption of flights. The reopening aims to alleviate some of the travel difficulties caused by the war.
