The announcement comes as escalating hostilities involving the United States, Israel and Iran have triggered sweeping restrictions on civilian air traffic across parts of West Asia. Iran and Israel have closed their airspace to civilian flights, while several neighbouring countries have imposed temporary limitations, leading to cascading disruptions across major regional hubs.
Airports in Doha, Bahrain, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Muscat have witnessed hundreds of flight cancellations and delays over the past two days, according to airport sources and airline advisories.
