Qatar Airways has announced the expansion of its international network to more than 150 destinations from 16 June 2026, under an updated operating schedule running until 15 September 2026, in a step aimed at strengthening connectivity via Doha and giving travelers greater flexibility during the summer season.
The airline explained that the new schedule includes the launch of new routes and an increase in the number of flights to and from Doha, giving travelers wider options when planning their summer travel, according to a post on the Qatar Airways account on X.
It added that travelers with confirmed bookings on flights within the new schedule will receive direct notifications with updated flight information, noting the importance of regularly checking the website or app and making sure contact details are up to date.
Qatar Airways explained that travelers with confirmed bookings for travel dates between 28 February and 15 September 2026 will be eligible for a free change of travel date to a new date until 31 October 2026 on flights operated by the airline, subject to seat availability and seasonal fares.
The airline stressed that travelers whose flights are affected will remain eligible to make additional changes free of charge until 31 October 2026, or to get a refund for the unused portion of the ticket, noting that refund procedures may take up to 28 working days.
Qatar Airways urged travelers not to go to the airport unless they hold a valid, confirmed ticket, noting that flight schedules may be subject to change or cancellation due to operational, regulatory or safety-related circumstances or other factors beyond its control.
