In a significant move, India’s leading airlines are set to restore full-scale operations at Hamad International Airport (DOH) starting May 1.
The resumption comes exactly two months after Operation Epic Fury, launched on February 28, 2026—a joint U.S.-Israeli military campaign targeting Iranian leadership and nuclear infrastructure that triggered widespread regional conflict.
Three major Indian carriers—Air India, Air
India Express and IndiGo—will spearhead the return, reconnecting Doha with key Indian metros and regional hubs.
“Indian carriers plan to resume operations at Hamad International Airport, Doha, as flight operations continue to expand.
Air India, Air India Express and IndiGo plan to resume their flight services between Doha and various destinations in India starting May 1, 2026,” the Embassy of India in Doha said in a post on X.
