Gradual Return Of Overseas Carriers To Doha International Airport
Qatar has reopened its skies to foreign airlines, allowing for the gradual resumption of operations at Hamad International Airport. The move comes after a ceasefire was agreed between the US and Iran, boosting confidence in the Gulf region. The QCAA issued a Notice to Airmen on April 20, 2026, permitting the return of overseas carriers, with Qatar Airways planning to operate to over 120 destinations by mid-May 2026. The decision follows a comprehensive assessment of the situation, with the QCAA emphasizing the importance of safety and security. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
