Starting May 1, 2026, Indian carriers such as Air India, Air India Express, and IndiGo will resume full-scale operations at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, after a two-month disruption caused by regional conflict. The closure of Qatari airspace, which began following Operation Epic Fury on February 28, 2026, limited flights to emergency and evacuation services only. The conflict, involving a US-Israeli military campaign against Iranian targets, escalated tensions in the Middle East, impacting Qatar despite its neutral stance. A recent two-week ceasefire, brokered in Islamabad and extended by President Trump, has created a fragile environment for airlines to cautiously restart operations. The Indian Embassy in Doha has announced the resumption and advised travelers to stay updated on flight schedules, as changes may still occur depending on ongoing approvals and coordination.
