DOHA — Foreign airlines are gradually resuming flight operations at Hamad International Airport in Qatar.
The Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA) confirmed the development in a notice issued Monday.
The QCAA said the decision was taken following a comprehensive situational assessment in coordination with all relevant national agencies, ensuring the highest level of preparedness and operational efficiency. Qatari airspace had effectively been closed to foreign carriers since Feb. 28 because of regional crisis, and this marks the first reopening since then.
Authorities said all flights and related operations will be conducted to the highest international safety standards. All necessary precautions and measures have been taken to ensure passenger and crew safety. For now, a select group of foreign airlines will resume operations, with other flights to follow in stages.
The reopening of the airspace is being viewed as a major step toward the normalization of Qatar’s aviation sector.
Affected airlines will prioritize rebooking passengers whose flights were canceled, according to reports.
