Doha, Qatar, Qatar Airways has declared a provisional flight plan on March 12 and 13 because of an existing conflict in the Middle East between Iran, Israel, and the United States.

- Madrid

These flights are aimed at sustaining important international links throughout the airspace prohibitions.

- Dallas/Fort Worth
- London Heathrow
- Paris
- Madrid
- Rome
- Delhi
- Jeddah
- Muscat
- Hong Kong

This will help passengers traveling to Doha to resume their travels or return home during this period and under the restricted operating schedule.
