Qatar Airways Flights Suspended

Developing Story|Last Updated: April 29, 2026 at 03:31 AM UTC

Qatar Airways, one of the world's top-rated airlines, has suspended all flight operations after Iranian missiles targeted Al Udeid Air Base near Doha and Hamad International Airport ceased operations. The airline's entire fleet of over 250 aircraft is grounded, affecting its network of more than 170 destinations across six continents. Multiple aircraft en route to Doha have been diverted to Muscat, Riyadh, and other regional airports where operations remain possible.

The airline has activated its emergency response protocol and is offering full refunds or free rebooking to all affected passengers. Qatar Airways Privilege Club members will receive tier status protection and mileage adjustments. The airline's oneworld alliance partners including British Airways, American Airlines, and Cathay Pacific are assisting with passenger reaccommodation on alternative routings that bypass the Gulf region entirely.

Qatar Airways CEO has issued a statement affirming the airline's commitment to passenger safety above all other considerations. The carrier's award-winning Hamad International Airport hub, which opened a major expansion in 2022, now sits silent. The economic impact extends beyond the airline to Qatar's broader aviation ecosystem, which employs tens of thousands and serves as a critical pillar of the nation's post-oil economic diversification strategy.
