Qatar Airways starts relief flights
Change
Qatar Airways began operating a limited number of relief flights on March 5 as its regular operations remained temporarily suspended due to the continued closure of Qatari airspace.
Why Now
Qatar Airways said its flight operations remain temporarily suspended because Qatari airspace is closed. The carrier said services will resume only after the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority announces the safe reopening of the country’s airspace. The airline said it plans to operate a limited number of relief flights beginning March 5 to assist stranded passengers. Planned relief services include Muscat flights to London Heathrow, Berlin, Copenhagen, Madrid, Rome, and Amsterdam. A relief flight is also planned from Riyadh to Frankfurt.
