Recent flight data shows a significant increase in Qatar Airways flights, with 172 flights recorded on March 30, 2026, marking a nearly 41% increase in just one week.
This surge is a further indication of the airline’s operational recovery following the sharp decline experienced at the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran.
According to an analysis by Al Jazeera’s Open Source Unit, flight operations plummeted to near-standstill levels at the beginning of March, with only three flights recorded on the first of the month and two the following day.
By the second half of the month, operations began to gradually increase, reaching their highest level since the beginning of the crisis at 172 flights on March 30.
The data timeline indicates a continuous upward trend in recent weeks, reflecting a gradual return to normal operations after the initial escalation. (Al-Arab Newspaper) 

talabat today announced the results of its Ramadan 2026 “Share an Iftar” campaign in Qatar, highlighting the scale of community contributions during the Holy Month.

In Qatar, the campaign delivered:

• 1.5 Million meals shared
• €343,024 raised in donations (Approximately, 1.45 Million QAR)
• 22,451 contributions from 6,074 donors
• Across the region, the campaign delivered:
• Over 24 million meals shared
• €1.7 million raised in donations
• 218,000+ contributions from more than 77,000 donors

In Qatar, the initiative supported local charities, helping deliver meals and financial support to communities during Ramadan and Eid.

Francisco Miguel De Sousa, Managing Director talabat Qatar, said:

The campaign shows how simple, everyday contributions – enabled at scale – can translate into real, measurable impact for communities.

Alongside this, talabat supported riders through a series of Ramadan initiatives, including Iftar meal distribution reaching approximately 3,000 riders, Hero Meals distribution in collaboration with Qatar Red Crescent Society, over 35,000 beverages distributed across the rider fleet, and grocery support and Ramadan care initiatives with more than 34,000 distributions, as well as rider Iftar events and a ‘Double the Tips’ initiative.

talabat extends its appreciation to partners including Rawa, Rayyan Water, Baladna, Ottoman Turkish Restaurant, Tasty Tea, and Lulu Hypermarket for their support in delivering these initiatives.

Fans eagerly awaiting the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour stop in Doha have received an important update. The highly anticipated concert at 974 Stadium has officially been postponed due to the current regional situation. While the announcement may come as a disappointment, organizers have emphasized that the decision was made with safety and logistics in mind.

A new date for the Doha performance is expected to be announced soon. Ticket holders can rest assured that all previously purchased tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled show, eliminating the need for rebooking or additional steps once the new date is confirmed.

For those who may be unable to attend on the future date, organizers have also confirmed that a two-month refund window will be provided after the new schedule is released. This ensures flexibility for fans while maintaining fairness in the process.

Despite the delay, excitement around the tour remains strong. Known for her electrifying performances and global appeal, Shakira’s return to the stage has been one of the most talked-about musical events of the year. The Doha show is expected to deliver the same high-energy experience, just at a later time.

Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to official channels for updates and further announcements. Until then, the message remains clear: the show is not cancelled – just postponed.

The one-day initiative doubles customer tips to thank riders supporting communities across Qatar.

talabat, the leading on-demand delivery platform in MENA, will match customer tips for riders on March 20 in celebration of Eid al-Fitr, doubling gestures of appreciation made through the talabat app.

Customers who choose to tip their rider through the talabat app will have their contribution matched by talabat. At a time when many people in the community are looking for ways to show appreciation, this initiative offers customers a simple way to thank riders for their continuous efforts in delivering meals, groceries, and everyday essentials across Qatar.

The initiative reflects talabat’s ongoing commitment to supporting riders who play a significant role in keeping communities connected when they are needed most.
