Middle East Air Chaos as Iran–Israel Conflict Grounds Flights. Flights across the Middle East faced massive disruptions as tensions between Iran and Israel escalated. Qatar's main airport in Doha shut down after Iran launched missiles at a U.S. base there—an apparent retaliation for U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Dubai Airport, the world's busiest, briefly paused operations, while over a dozen global airlines, including Air India and Japan Airlines, canceled regional routes. Travelers in major hubs like Doha and Abu Dhabi were left stranded, with aviation experts warning that ripple effects could last for days. Longer flight paths mean higher fuel costs and disrupted schedules. Safety concerns are rising, too—governments are advising against travel, and many flights now avoid Iranian and neighboring airspace, pushing traffic into even more congested skies. President Trump has declared a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, but without confirmation from either side, uncertainty continues to ground global travel plans.
