Qatar Airways announces reinstatement of flights

The airline said it deployed extra ground staff at Hamad International Airport to support as it resumes operations.

Qatar Airways had temporarily suspended its flights
Earlier, Qatar Airways had temporarily suspended its flights due to the closure of air traffic movement in the West Asian Country.
"Temporary Suspension of Qatar Airways Flights. As a result of the closure of air traffic movement in the State of Qatar, we can confirm the temporary suspension of Qatar Airways flights," the statement said.
"We are working closely with government stakeholders and the relevant authorities to support any passengers that have been impacted and will resume operations when the airspace reopens. The safety of our passengers and crew remains our highest priority," it added.
The conflict began on June 13 when Israel launched a massive airstrike on Iranian military and nuclear sites, code-named "Operation Rising Lion". In retaliation, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) initiated a large-scale drone and missile campaign called 'Operation True Promise 3', targeting Israeli fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply centres.
