Qatar allows gradual resumption of foreign airlines’ operations

Qatar’s Civil Aviation Authority said Monday it will allow a “gradual resumption” of foreign airlines’ operations through Hamad International Airport, following a comprehensive safety assessment, Anadolu Agency reported.

The authority said it issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) announcing the move after coordinating with relevant national entities to ensure operational readiness and efficiency.

“All flights and related operations will be carried out in accordance with the highest internationally recognized safety and security standards,” the authority said.

It added that all necessary measures and precautions are in place to safeguard passengers and aviation personnel.

The move came as a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the US still holds, halting attacks by the US and Israel that have killed more than 3,300 people since Feb. 28.

Washington and Tehran held rare direct talks in Pakistan on April 11, but the talks ended without any agreement. Mediators are seeking to hold another round of discussions in Islamabad.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Sunday that major differences remain between Tehran and Washington despite progress in negotiations.​​​​​​​
