Qatar Airways announced a limited flight schedule to and from Doha, Qatar, effective March 18th through March 28th, 2026. The airline cited the closure of Qatari airspace due to regional instability caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran as the reason for the disruption. Flights will operate to dozens of destinations across Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North and South America, and the Asia Pacific. The airline stated that it will resume full operations once Qatari airspace is fully reopened. Air travel across the Middle East has been significantly impacted by the conflict, with some airports experiencing closures and flight disruptions.
