There are also some positive developments amid the current West Asian situation. India's major airlines will begin offering full-scale flights between Doha and the rest of the world starting May 1 at the new Hamad International Airport in Doha. This move marks the revival of commercial air links in West Asia. This development comes two months after the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran kicked off on February 28.

The three leading Indian airlines, including Air India, Air India Express, and IndiGo, will reportedly resume operations to Doha from multiple destinations across India. The Indian Embassy in Doha stated in a post on the social media platform, "As flight operations continue to expand, Indian airlines are planning to resume services at Hamad International Airport Doha. Air India, Air India Express, and IndiGo will resume flights between Doha and various destinations in India from May 1."

The Indian Embassy also stated that this move is part of a coordinated effort by global aviation authorities aimed at stabilizing and normalizing operations in the region. The Embassy also cautioned that flight schedules are still subject to coordination, indicating that the security situation remains fragile. Travelers are advised to stay in touch with their airlines for the latest information on schedules, terminal information, and booking status.

Despite playing a mediating role in the Middle East crisis, Qatar was not spared from its impact. Qatar's airspace remained largely closed to commercial flights for nearly two months, and only limited emergency and evacuation flights were operating at Hamad International Airport since early March. A ceasefire in Islamabad in mid-April provided temporary stability, allowing commercial insurance companies to gradually return international flights to the region.
