Qatar Airways to resume limited flights from Doha after civil aviation approval

DOHA— Qatar Airways said it will operate 29 flights to and from Doha on Thursday after receiving temporary authorization from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority to use limited operating corridors, as airlines navigate disruptions linked to escalating military tensions across the Gulf.

The airline said the decision followed a temporary clearance issued by the aviation regulator allowing restricted flight operations through designated routes.

“Following temporary authorization from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority allowing limited operating corridors, Qatar Airways plans to operate select flights in the coming days to support passengers affected by the disruption,” the airline said in a statement posted on social media platform X late Tuesday.

The flights will depart from Hamad International Airport in Doha and include services to major international destinations such as London, New York and Madrid.

The limited schedule is intended to help clear passenger backlogs caused by recent airspace disruptions as regional security conditions deteriorate

.Air travel across parts of the Gulf has been affected by the intensifying conflict involving Iran and its adversaries, with several airlines adjusting routes or suspending flights due to security risks and airspace restrictions.

Qatar Airways said the select services were being scheduled to assist travelers impacted by the disruption while complying with the temporary operating corridors authorized by the civil aviation authority.
