  • Major airports such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha remained closed or heavily restricted for a second consecutive day due to ongoing airstrikes.

  • The shutdown caused widespread cancellations and reroutes, stranding passengers across global hubs including Bali, Frankfurt, and Kathmandu.

  • Dispersed crews and aircraft worldwide have complicated efforts to resume normal flight operations once airspace reopens.

  • Continued regional conflict and closed skies threaten prolonged disruption while rising oil prices add financial strain on airlines.
  • Any escalation in the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan that results in the closure of airspace would have drastic consequences for travel between Europe and Asia.

  • On February 2, 2026, an Air India pilot reported abnormal fuel control switch behavior on a Boeing 787-8 after safely landing in Bengaluru.

  • The aircraft was immediately withdrawn from service and the issue escalated to Boeing and the Indian aviation regulator DGCA.

  • Fuel control switches manage engine fuel flow and are designed to prevent accidental position changes during flight.

  • The 2025 Ahmedabad crash that killed 260 people involved similar fuel switch movements shortly after takeoff, causing loss of thrust.
  • No sane pilot would ever turn those switches off in flight.
    — US aviation safety expert John Nance commented on the fuel switch movements during the fatal flight.
