Virgin Australia services operated by Qatar Airways remain impacted by the ongoing security situation in the Middle East.

All Virgin Australia services operated by Qatar Airways between Australia and Doha (VA1 to VA22) are cancelled up to and including at least Monday, 15 June 2026. Affected guests are being contacted directly, and where possible, alternative flights are being provided.

Qatar Airways is gradually increasing flights to and from Doha through dedicated flight corridors established in coordination with the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority. Qatar Airways is posting updates on its website. Anyone planning to travel to the region should check the Australian Government’s Smartraveller website for the latest travel advice.

For guests booked on Virgin Australia’s Doha services with original travel dates up to and including 15 June 2026, where an alternative provided flight is unsuitable, we are offering free booking changes to the same destination for travel up to 31 October 2026, or a travel credit or refund.
