Qatar Airways has announced temporary suspension of its flights following the closure of its airspace by the Qatar government.

The announcement by the Qatari government follows recent missile attacks by Iran targeting military bases of the United States of America.

“As a result of the closure of air traffic movement in the State of Qatar, we can confirm the temporary suspension of Qatar Airways flights.

We are working closely with government stakeholders and the relevant authorities to support any passengers that have been impacted, and will resume operations when the airspace re-opens.” said Qatar Airways

Even though Qatar Airways has issued the statement, it has not revealed plans to support affected passengers but just promised support to them.
