Airlines based in some of the countries from where travellers have been temporarily barred from entering Qatar Monday said they were cancelling flights to Doha and making the necessary alterations in view of the government directive.
On Sunday, it was announced that entry to Qatar had been temporarily suspended for people from Bangladesh, China, Egypt, India, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Syria and Thailand with effect from Monday.
Accordingly, low-cost Indian carrier IndiGo Monday tweeted that "due to temporary restriction to operate to Doha issued by the State of Qatar, as a preventive measure in view of coronavirus, flights to/from Doha are impacted".
"Flights to/from Doha are suspended till March 17, 2020. Please visit 'Plan B' to opt for a full refund. We will be monitoring the situation closely and will share further updates," the airline said.
In a statement on its Facebook page, Philippine Airlines (PAL) said the airline "is compelled to cancel all flights to and from Doha from March 11 until March 15" in view of the Qatar government's directive over Covid-19 concerns.
The flights cancelled during this period are PR 684/685, Manila-Doha-Manila.
Passengers of these flights have the option to request for rebooking/rerouting or refunding their confirmed ticket on or before March 28.
"You may choose a new travel date that falls on or before June 30," the airline said. "Please note this is a developing situation. We shall provide updates on flight cancellations to/from Doha."
