Virgin Australia services operated by Qatar Airways remain impacted by the ongoing security situation in the Middle East and the closure of Qatari airspace.
The safety of our guests and crew is always our top priority, we thank everyone for their understanding.
At this stage, all Virgin Australia services operated by Qatar Airways (VA1-22) are cancelled up to and including at least Tuesday, 17 March 2026. Affected guests are being contacted directly.
We are aware that Qatar Airways has received temporary authorisation from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority to operate some flights within limited operating corridors. Qatar Airways is posting updates on its website.
We are offering free booking changes, or a travel credit or refund, for guests booked on Virgin Australia’s Doha services up to and including 22 March 2026 who no longer wish to travel.
