In a remarkable display of crisis management, Qatar Airways successfully rebooked and rerouted approximately 20,000 passengers within 24 hours after their flights were diverted due to an Iranian missile strike aimed at a U.S. military base.

The sudden attack forced several Gulf countries, including Qatar, to close airspace temporarily, causing significant passenger backlog at Doha's Hamad International Airport. Qatar Airways' CEO Badr Mohammed Al-Meer confirmed that business continuity plans were activated, prioritizing stranded travelers.

By June 25, normal operations resumed, with traffic flowing smoothly. Al-Meer highlighted the airline's quick adaptation to volatile circumstances, further demonstrating Qatar Airways' resilience amidst escalating regional upheavals.
