Qatar: Civil Aviation Authority Outlines New Rules for Travel and Cargo Offices

The Peninsula, 14 August 2026: The Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA) has detailed regulatory requirements for travel and cargo offices, reinforcing compliance with Qatar Law No. 3/2025 on Regulating Air Travel and Air Cargo Agencies.

In a session held on 13 August 2026, QCAA officials briefed travel agencies, air freight operators and aviation stakeholders on updated licensing protocols and operational standards. The framework aims to strengthen transparency, accountability and service quality across the aviation and logistics sectors.

The requirements emphasise strict licensing procedures, adherence to approved operational benchmarks, and enhanced oversight through inspections and direct communication channels. Agencies must comply with service quality standards for both passenger and cargo services or risk suspension.

QCAA highlighted that the initiative builds on recent enforcement actions earlier in 2026, including closures of non‑compliant agencies, and reflects Qatar’s broader strategy to modernise aviation governance and safeguard consumer interests.
