Saudi Arabia on Sunday said Qatari Muslims to Mecca for the annual hajj pilgrimage.
"Saudi Arabian Airlines general manager Saleh al-Jasser has said that the airline has thus been unable to schedule flights to Qatari pilgrims from Hamad International Airport in Doha," read a report on the SPA news agency.
"Qatari authorities have not allowed the aircraft to land as it did not have the right paperwork, although the paperwork was filed days ago," said SPA.
Saudi Arabia last week reopened its land border with Qatar for Muslim pilgrims and said it would provide Qataris from Doha to Mecca, in a temporary lifting of a long-term boycott of Qatar.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt in June cut all ties with Qatar over allegations that the emirate supported Islamist extremists.
The four Arab states have recalled their diplomats from Qatar and banned the emirate from using their airspace or ports.
