Qatar Airways to run limited relief flights for stranded passengers

Qatar Airways announced that while its flight operations remain temporarily suspended, it will begin operating a limited number of relief flights starting today.

“Qatar Airways will operate a limited number of relief flights from March 5 to support passengers who are stranded due to the current situation across the region,” it said in a social media post.

Initially, flights will be run from Muscat, Oman, to London Heathrow, Berlin, Copenhagen, Madrid, Rome, and Amsterdam. A flight from Riyadh to Frankfurt is also planned.

The airline advised passengers not to proceed to the airport unless they have received an official notification from Qatar Airways regarding these flights.

The airlines will contact affected passengers directly with their assigned flight details, travel arrangements, and next steps, it said. Passengers are urged to ensure their contact details are up to date so they can be reached with flight information and instructions.

Meanwhile, regular services will resume as soon as Qatar Civil Aviation Authority announces safe reopening of Qatar’s airspace, and an update will be provided tomorrow, March 6, at 9pm Doha time.

The airline added that it is continuously monitoring the situation and will share further updates as soon as they become available.
