Summary created with AI assistance · Source: reuters.com
- 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
