Regional uncertainty and ongoing strikes across the Middle East have forced the closure of major airports in Iran, Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, disrupting thousands of flights and stranding tens of thousands of passengers.
More than 3,400 flights have been cancelled according to Flightradar24, impacting critical hubs that connect Africa, Asia and Europe.
The closures have caused delays worldwide, from Thailand to India and across Europe, with airlines citing imminent safety concerns and passengers left uncertain about when normal travel will resume.
