Qatar’s airspace is open and Hamad International Airport (DOH) is operating, but flights still use dedicated corridors and schedules can change quickly.
Check your booking with the airline before travelling to the airport.
Is Qatar Airspace Open?
Yes. The Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA) says the country’s airspace is open. Flights use dedicated routes, called corridors, which let traffic continue while capacity is restricted.
EASA, Europe’s aviation safety regulator, tells airlines covered by its rules not to use Qatar’s airspace until 29 July 2026, unless reviewed earlier. This does not mean the airspace is closed to every airline.
Military strikes and reprisal attacks were reported across the region in mid-July, including attacks directed at targets in Qatar. Schedules can change at short notice, so confirm your flight before you travel.
