Qatar resumes big routes

Qatar Airways published a revised, limited timetable covering March 18–28, 2026 that the carrier says will reconnect Doha with more than 70 destinations. (euronews.com) Industry trackers and aviation outlets report the network count ranging up to about 80 destinations, while the airline’s published schedules list specific cities such as London (LHR), Madrid (MAD), Frankfurt (FRA), New York JFK, Dallas, Toronto, Beijing, Mumbai and Perth. (airlive.net) (qatarairways.com) The restart follows the closure of Qatari airspace after strikes and retaliatory attacks beginning on February 28, 2026, which forced the carrier into relief and repatriation operations using alternative bases. (aerotime.aero) (qatarairways.com) Operations are running under temporary authorisations and "safe operating corridors" from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority and with military escorts, leaving Qatar at roughly 15 daily departures compared with more than 150 per day before the disruption. (airtraveler.club) (qatarairways.com) Passengers holding tickets dated between February 28 and March 28, 2026 are being offered two complimentary date changes for travel up to April 30, 2026, or full refunds under the airline’s flexible policy for affected bookings. (airlive.net) Qatar Airways has stated it will return to full-scale scheduled operations only after the QCAA formally confirms that Qatari airspace is safe, while carriers across the region continue to revise timetables amid ongoing volatility.
