Handover at Doha, Qatar — the deportees were moved onto a Qatar Airways charter for the flight to Tehran, around 11:00 local time on October 1. That aircraft is not this one, and that leg is not in this table: it comes from the reporting, not from ADS-B.

The Doha stop was not at Hamad International, which handles the city's commercial traffic. The 777 parked at Doha International (OTBD), the older airport a few kilometres to the north-west, and sat there for two hours and 49 minutes before leaving empty.

Empty afterwards: it left Doha International Airport at 04:50 UTC on October 1, 2025 via Capital International Airport and Queen Alia International Airport, and was back on US soil at Alexandria International Airport on October 2, 2025.
