Qatar Airways is confirming halting its flight operations.
Iran has retaliated against Donald Trump’s bombs on its nuclear facilities, launching missile strikes against U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
As a result, the State of Qatar decided to close its airspace before the attack, forcing the diversion of passenger jets away from the busy Doha airport.
Flights inbound to Qatar Hamad International Airport are returning to their origin airports in Europe:
- QR150 is returning to Madrid
- QR146 is returning to Barcelona
- QR28 is returning to Manchester
- QR328 is returning to London Gatwick
- QR34 is returning to Birmingham
- QR8 is returning to London Heathrow
- QR176 is returning to Oslo
Qatar Airways confirmed the temporary suspension of its flight operations.
The airline is working with government stakeholders and the relevant authorities to support any passengers that have been impacted, and will resume operations when the airspace re-opens.
UPDATE 21:20 UTC
Qatar Airways confirms reinstatement of flights as airspace reopens in the State of Qatar.
