Qatar’s Hamad Airport operates limited flights from 18 March amid continuing airspace closure

Hamad International Airport in Doha has announced that a limited number of flights will operate from 18 March 2026, while Qatar’s airspace remains temporarily closed due to current regional circumstances.

In a statement on its website, the airport said it continues to work with relevant authorities and airlines to support passengers affected by the closure. The limited flights have been approved by the competent authorities to help travellers reach their destinations.

The airport stressed that these services do not constitute a resumption of normal airline operations. All current flights use restricted air corridors approved by the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority and the relevant bodies responsible for airspace decisions.

Commercial services will resume gradually once the authorities announce that the airspace can safely reopen in full. Passengers were asked not to travel to the airport; those without confirmed bookings may be unable to enter the terminal. The airport said it will continue issuing updates as further information becomes available.
