Qatar Airways has resumed double-daily passenger flights between Doha and Abu Dhabi following a reduction in hostilities from a recent conflict involving Iran, Israel, and U.S. forces in the Middle East.
The route, which faced suspension due to airspace restrictions and operational disruptions during the crisis, is now operating again. This restores Qatar Airways network in the United Arab Emirates to three destinations: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah.
The airline has also restarted services to several other regional destinations, including Baghdad, Basra, and Erbil in Iraq, as well as daily flights to Bahrain, Damascus, and Kozhikode in India.
Earlier this week, on May 12, Qatar Airways announced the resumption of flights to Helsinki and Tokyo Haneda starting July 15. Helsinki services will operate four times weekly initially, using flight QR301 departing Doha at 08:40 and arriving at 15:30 local time, increasing to daily from August 1. Tokyo Haneda flights, on QR812, will depart Doha at 07:50 and arrive the next day at 00:05, also starting with four weekly frequencies before going daily in August.
Qatar Airways plans to serve more than 160 destinations during the northern summer season as it continues restoring routes affected by the conflict. Passengers should check the airline website or app for updates, as schedules may change due to operational, regulatory, or safety reasons.
