Qatar Airways canceled its participation in the Farnborough International Airshow 2026 on 13 July 2026, days after initial confirmation, to observe mourning for the death of former Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani on 12 July 2026. The carrier will not showcase its FIFA World Cup 2026™ livery aircraft or Qatar Executive’s Gulfstream G700 at the event scheduled for 20–24 July in Farnborough, UK. This withdrawal removes a major fleet-planning operator from a trade show where Airbus, Embraer, and Bombardier present new MTOW and EIS updates. No official statement from Qatar Airways or the Qatari government has been issued; industry sources cite the mourning period as the sole reason for the AOG-style absence.
