Qatar Airways has resumed daily services to the United Arab Emirates and Syria, Emerging Travel reported citing local media on April 23.

The restoration of flights to the UAE marks a further normalisation of air links in the Gulf region, while the resumption of Syrian services comes as the country's aviation infrastructure gradually reopens.

The airline warned that flight schedules remained subject to change or cancellation due to operational, regulatory, safety or other circumstances beyond its control. Refund requests for affected bookings may take up to 28 working days to process, the carrier said.

The resumption adds to Qatar Airways' expanded summer programme, which the Doha-based carrier said earlier this month would take its network to more than 150 destinations from June 16.

The enlarged programme runs until September 15 and introduces new routes and added frequencies to and from the airline's Doha hub, aimed at giving corporate and leisure passengers greater flexibility for summer travel planning.

In a notice to its customer base, the Skytrax-rated carrier said passengers holding confirmed bookings on any affected service would be contacted directly with revised flight information. The airline has urged travellers to check its website and mobile app regularly and to keep contact details up to date.

The resumption comes after weeks of disruption to regional aviation caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran that began on February 28. Doha's Hamad International Airport has been one of the Gulf hubs most exposed to the war given Qatar's role as a mediator and its proximity to the conflict zone. Qatar has hosted visits from Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II in recent days for talks on regional de-escalation.

Most major Gulf carriers have gradually restored connectivity across the region since the Pakistan-brokered ceasefire took effect on April 8. The ceasefire is due to expire on April 22, although Iran is reportedly reviewing its participation in a second round of talks in Islamabad.

Damascus airport reopened for international traffic earlier in April following closure during the Israeli strikes on southern Syria.
