Qatar Airways prioritizes stranded passengers on limited evacuation flights through newly reopened airspace amid regional conflict and ongoing security concerns.

- More information is due on Sunday at 9am local time, and Qatar Airways said it is working around the clock to organise additional relief flights and will resume normal operations after the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority announces full reopening.
