It has been reported that Qatar has temporarily suspended its decision to open its airspace for evacuation flights following the attacks initiated by the US-Israel on Iran. In a written statement made from Qatar Airways' account on the US-based X platform, it was stated that flights would resume after the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority announced that the country's airspace had been safely reopened following approval from the relevant authorities.
LIMITED SPECIAL FLIGHTS WILL BE CONDUCTED FOR THOSE REMAINING IN THE REGION
The statement indicated that a more detailed update on the matter would be provided on March 6 at 09:00 local time. Qatar Airways had previously announced that a limited number of special flights would be conducted for passengers stranded in the region starting from March 5. The statement noted that scheduled flights remain suspended due to the continued closure of airspace, but that humanitarian "aid flights" would be initiated, and as of today, special flights would be organized to key points in Europe via Muscat and Riyadh, with planned routes including London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Madrid, Rome, and Amsterdam from Muscat, and Frankfurt from Riyadh.
