Dubai, UAE — Airlines has extended the suspension of flights to several Gulf destinations as regional tensions continue to affect aviation operations.

The airline said flights to and from Oman, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Bahrain will remain suspended until Thursday while the situation is closely monitored.

In a statement on its X account, the carrier said some exceptional flights would operate and that it is evaluating the gradual resumption of certain services once conditions allow.

Suspensions on routes to Moscow and Peshawar will continue until Sunday, March 15, the airline added.

Meanwhile, Qatar Airways announced a limited flight schedule over the coming days after receiving temporary authorization from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority.

The airline said the measure is intended to assist passengers affected by recent disruptions and help them reconnect with family and friends.

Flights departing Doha on March 12 include destinations such as Cairo, Casablanca, Johannesburg, Sao Paulo, New York, Frankfurt, Madrid, London, Beijing, Mumbai, Delhi, Islamabad, Colombo, Jakarta and Manila.

Arrivals into Doha on the same day include Cairo, Dallas/Fort Worth, London Heathrow, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Delhi, Jeddah, Muscat, Hong Kong, Seoul, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Melbourne.

Qatar Airways said passengers should travel only if they hold confirmed tickets, noting the flights do not represent a full resumption of regular commercial operations.

Both airlines said passenger and crew safety remains their top priority amid the ongoing regional situation.
