Al Maha Airways was a planned subsidiary airline of Qatar Airways to serve the Saudi Arabian aviation market based initially at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, and then at Hamad International Airport in Doha. The start of operations was postponed several times following its announcement in 2014, and then cancelled entirely by February 2017 following issues obtaining its operational license. The Qatar diplomatic crisis, the suspension of flights to and from Qatar as well as the barring of Qatar-registered aircraft from Saudi Arabian, Bahraini, Emirati and Egyptian airspace sealed the fate of the airline.
