Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain shut down as missile threats surge
Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain have closed their airspace in response to missile threats tied to Iranian retaliation over U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.
The abrupt closure hit key travel hubs like Doha’s Hamad International Airport, forcing major airlines—Singapore Airlines, British Airways, Air France and Finnair—to cancel or reroute flights.
The disruption has left thousands of travelers stranded and sparked broader logistical and economic fallout, including surging fuel costs and extended flight paths across global networks.
