Qatar Airways to resume flights to the Maldives in April.

Qatar Airways will restart its direct flight path between Doha and the Maldives on 8 April 2026. The airline plans to operate five weekly flights connecting Hamad International Airport to Velana International Airport, restoring a vital transit hub for travelers arriving from Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. This route is a primary gateway for international visitors heading to the archipelago’s secluded island resorts.

This service resumption follows a temporary suspension caused by regional instability that previously restricted air corridors. The current flight schedule remains in effect through 15 April 2026, with further updates expected as the carrier stabilizes its global network. To assist passengers navigating these changes, the airline has implemented a flexible rebooking policy for tickets issued for travel through mid-June 2026. Travelers are encouraged to verify their flight status frequently, as operational conditions may still influence the final schedule.
