- 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.— Ian Petchenik, communications director at Flightradar24

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- The aircraft was immediately withdrawn from service and the issue escalated to Boeing and the Indian aviation regulator DGCA.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