Qatar Airways has said “it will not fly over Ukrainian territory” until further notice.
In response to queries, Qatar Airways informed passengers that select areas in Ukrainian air space were currently closed by authorities.
In a “travel alert” on its website, the national airline said, “The Qatar Airways Group is in deep dismay over the loss of flight MH17. We stand by to support our fellow oneworld alliance member during this sombre time.
Currently, there are no delays expected as a result of this operational change. No inbound flights to Doha nor outbound flights from Doha to destinations that previously included fly zones within the Ukraine are expected to face delays.
We assure all passengers that should there be any action required with regards to current bookings, that they will be notified by the Qatar Airways Customer Service Team.
There is no requirement to contact Qatar Airways with relation to the MH17 Ukrainian air space matter.”
