Carrier resumes select departures to London, New York, and Madrid after temporary clearance from aviation authorities
DOHA: Qatar Airways has received temporary authorization to operate 29 flights on Thursday, offering a lifeline to passengers disrupted by ongoing regional instability following Iranian retaliatory strikes across the Gulf.
The airline announced late Tuesday that the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority had granted permission for limited operating corridors, allowing select departures to resume. The approved routes include flights to London, New York, and Madrid.
“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 company stated on X.
The move provides critical connectivity as airlines across the region navigate airspace restrictions and security concerns stemming from heightened military activity in the Gulf.
