Air travel across the Gulf remains disrupted as the Israel-Iran-US conflict continues to affect regional airspace and aviation operations. The ongoing conflict had caused hundreds of flights to be canceled or rerouted by temporarily restricted or closed airspace in several countries in the Middle East due to missile and drone attacks.
By March 11, a limited or emergency schedule is being operated in some airports in Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain and many airlines are still suspending services or reducing them. It is being recommended that passengers should directly check with airlines and travel to airports since it is a case of highly unpredictable flight schedules.
In the United Arab Emirates, the leading airports in the region, including the Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), have somewhat reopened following the previous shutdowns. The government was reinstating its services slowly and confirmed that only a few flights are running at the moment and security grounds have been stabilized. Other airlines such as Emirates have reopened certain routes, mostly focusing on the passengers who have confirmed bookings or have urgent travel requirements. But complete flight itineraries are not back online and most of the international airlines continue to cancel and divert flights, which could otherwise have flown in the Gulf region.
In the other parts of the Gulf, the situation is even less certain. The Doha airport in Qatar has permitted limited flights as the authorities have allowed restricted air traffic operation despite the fact that the normal schedules are currently suspended. In the meantime, Kuwait International Airport has been severely disrupted with a drone strike destroying part of the airport leaving only special flights in service of citizens. Airlines have also been closed or limited to operate until further notice in Bahrain due to airspace closures and safety issues. As such, it is recommended that the travelers be prepared to deal with delays, cancellations and last minute changes during the ongoing conflict.
