DUBAI : UAE’s Etihad Airways announced it is rerouting a number of its flights on Monday, June 23, and Tuesday, June 24, due to newly imposed airspace restrictions in parts of the Middle East. The move comes after Iran launched an operation targeting a US military base in Qatar, prompting multiple Gulf countries to temporarily shut down portions of their airspace.
“This is a developing situation and the airline is continuously monitoring security and airspace updates,” Etihad Airways said in a statement.
The airline also cautioned that the situation is likely to cause “some disruption and delay to a number of flights over the coming days,” urging travelers to check flight statuses and stay updated through official channels.
