Qatar Airways to operate ‘revised limited schedule’ this week

Qatar Airways plans to introduce a revised flight schedule for 10 days from March 18.

The revised number of planned flights across its global network covers 18 destinations in Europe including Heathrow, Birmingham, Manchester and Dublin.  

The “revised limited number” of flights between March 18-28 also includes 27 destinations in Asia, six in the Americas, eight in Africa, two in Australia and four in the Middle East .

The airline said in an update yesterday (Sunday): “Qatar Airways will resume scheduled flight operations once the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA) announces the reopening of Qatari airspace.

”The QCAA has approved operating corridors for a limited number of flights, and Qatar Airways will operate a revised limited schedule from 18 March 2026.

“These schedules have been enhanced to give more flexibility to passengers wishing to travel.

“We recognise this situation may be unsettling and are working to keep you moving while we prepare for the safe return of our usual operations.”

The airline’s operations to and from its Doha base have been severely restricted due to the Iran war.

A reduced schedule has been operating within a limited safe corridor defined by the QCAA.

The number of flights that can operate each day have been “extremely limited” under current operational conditions.

“Each flight requires careful planning and remains subject to regulatory approvals and airspace conditions,” Qatar Airways noted.

Selected services have also operated without a connection in Doha “to help passengers continue their journeys”.
