DOHA, Qatar, 25 June 2025: Qatar Airways confirmed on Tuesday the reinstatement of flights to and from its home base, Doha, following the reopening of airspace in the State of Qatar
In a press statement released on 24 June, it said the “focus at this time is to help our passengers return home or reach their onward journey safely and smoothly.”
The airline reported it is working with government stakeholders and the relevant authorities to restore operations as quickly as possible.
“We have also deployed additional ground staff at Hamad International Airport and other key airports to assist affected passengers by minimising disruptions and offering the utmost care and support to all customers.
“As operations resume, we anticipate significant delays to our flight schedule and advise passengers to check qatarairways.com or the Qatar Airways mobile application ahead of travel.”
Reports confirm Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Doha, Qatar, is currently operational on 24 June following a temporary suspension of flights on Monday, 23 June 2025, due to the closure of Qatari airspace following escalating regional tensions and an Iranian missile attack on a US military base in Qatar.
The airport is working to clear the backlog of hundreds of cancelled or diverted flights.
Passengers are strongly advised to check the latest updates directly with airlines or consult the official website of Hamad International Airport (dohahamadairport.com) for the most current flight information before travelling to the airport.
