Meanwhile, all six scheduled Qatar Airways flights landed safely in Doha from Paris, Madrid, London, Frankfurt, Rome and Bangkok. It was the first group of inbound flights since Qatar closed its airspace over the war in Iran that affected the country, as per Al Jazeera.

The airline reiterated on Sunday that these flights do not constitute a confirmation of resumption of scheduled commercial operations.
