Qatar Airways says it has temporarily suspended all flights to Ukraine in the wake of conflict with Russia.
The airline disclosed this in a tweet on Thursday.
It, however, added that it is monitoring the situation of the war while directing affected passages to check for other available options suggested to them.
“All Qatar Airways flights to Ukraine have been temporarily suspended,” the tweet reads.
“We continue to closely monitor developments. Impacted passengers should visit My Trip at https://t.co/1T0MS4AJnD for available options.”

TheCable had reported that Ukraine’s interior ministry said Russia attacked the country on Thursday.
Explosions were reportedly heard in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kramatorsk and other parts of Ukraine.
On Tuesday, Boris Johnson, Prime minister of the United Kingdom, said Russia and Vladimir Putin had now “plainly” violated Ukrainian sovereignty and “completely torn up international law”.
The European Union and the United States have also vowed to impose significant sanctions against those involved in the invasion.
Joe Biden, the United States President, condemned the attacks, describing them as unprovoked.
Biden said the US and its allies — members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) — would deliver a decisive response.
