Malaysia Airlines is operating most of its network as of 5 June 2026, with Doha still limited by a phased restart plan.
The airline now says one daily Kuala Lumpur-Doha service is scheduled to resume from 2 July 2026, while two other Doha rotations remain suspended until 24 October 2026 subject to review.
What’s currently suspended
Doha remains the only Malaysia Airlines destination in this article with a current published suspension notice.
| Route | June 2026 status | Next published step |
|---|---|---|
| Kuala Lumpur-Doha MH160/161 | Suspended through June | Limited daily service planned from 2 July 2026 |
| Kuala Lumpur-Doha MH164/165 and MH168/169 | Suspended | Suspended until 24 October 2026, subject to ongoing review |
What’s still operating
Malaysia Airlines says Jeddah, Madinah, London and Paris continue to operate as scheduled.
- Saudi Arabia: Jeddah and Madinah services continue, including Hajj and Umrah operations.
- Europe: London Heathrow and Paris remain scheduled.
- Malaysia and Asia-Pacific: domestic, regional, China, North Asia, South Asia, Australia and New Zealand routes are not listed in the Doha suspension notice.
Passengers should still check the latest status before travel because Gulf airspace remains under active risk monitoring.
Why Doha remains limited
Malaysia Airlines links the Doha restart to Qatar airspace reopening and a gradual resumption at Hamad International Airport.
EASA’s current conflict-zone bulletin advises operators to exercise caution in Qatar and neighbouring Gulf airspace, so schedule changes can still happen at short notice.
Rebooking and refund options for affected passengers
Passengers affected by suspended Doha flights should use Malaysia Airlines’ official channels to check whether they can rebook, reroute or request a refund.
- Before departure: check the Malaysia Airlines website or mobile app for your PNR.
- If your flight is cancelled: contact Malaysia Airlines or the agent that issued your ticket.
- If you still need Doha: review the limited daily restart from 2 July and confirm whether your flight number is included.
