Qatar Airways has announced it is operating a limited schedule of flights to and from Doha via emergency corridors, as Qatar's airspace remains closed.
The airline explained that this step comes after Qatar's Civil Aviation Authority announced a partial resumption of air navigation via dedicated emergency air corridors, adding that the scheduled flights will arrive at Hamad International Airport on 9 March 2026 from a number of international destinations, including Amsterdam, Berlin, Frankfurt, London Heathrow, Zurich and Muscat, according to a press release published on the Qatar Airways website.
Qatar Airways stressed that these flights are only for travelers whose final destination is Doha, asking those wishing to travel to book via the airline's website, official app or travel agents.
The airline stressed that operating these flights does not mean the resumption of scheduled operations, as flights will remain suspended until the Civil Aviation Authority announces the safe reopening of the airspace. It also asked travelers not to go to departure airports unless they have a confirmed booking on these flights.
In a related context, Qatar Airways explained that today, Sunday 8 March, it operated evacuation flights from Hamad International Airport to a number of European destinations, including Amsterdam, Berlin, Frankfurt, London Heathrow and Zurich.
The airline noted that priority on these flights was given to families, the elderly and travelers with urgent medical or humanitarian needs, whose travel was arranged in advance on these flights.
