Middle East air travel disrupted as airlines suspend and reroute flights
Air travel across the Middle East is facing major disruption as regional tensions intensify, prompting airlines and airports to suspend operations and reroute services.
Bahrain’s national carrier Gulf Air has announced a full suspension of its operations. Meanwhile, several airlines in the UAE and neighboring countries are either cancelling flights or adjusting routes in response to recent strikes in Iran and the evolving security situation.
Key aviation hubs have also been impacted. Kuwait International Airport and Hamad International Airport have halted commercial flight operations, significantly affecting regional and international connectivity.
Passengers scheduled to travel are strongly advised to check directly with their airlines for the latest updates before heading to the airport. Authorities and carriers continue to monitor developments closely, with further changes possible depending on how the situation unfolds.
