Qatar reopens airspace after Iran's attack on US base near Doha
QATAR, JUN 24 – Qatar and neighboring Gulf nations reopened their airspace after missile attacks on the US Al Udeid Air Base, with most missiles intercepted and no casualties reported, easing travel disruptions.
- On June 24, Iranian forces launched dozens of missiles targeting the US Al Udeid Air Base near Doha, Qatar, prompting a widescale missile interception.
- The missile barrage led Qatar to close its entire airspace around midday, issuing a NOTAM restricting all departures and arrivals until further notice.
- US air defenses successfully intercepted about 30 Iranian missiles mid-air with no casualties reported, while flights from Doha remained suspended, causing cancellations and delays.
- A University of Leicester academic in Doha reported the attack's impact firsthand, noting a cancelled 1:45am flight and receipt of the ACARS message about the airspace closure.
- Flights resumed from Hamad International Airport early on June 24, and Qatar's role in mediating ceasefire talks suggests ongoing efforts toward regional de-escalation.
