Gulf airlines launch limited relief flights as Middle East airspace closures strand passengers

RIYADH: Qatar Airways and Emirates said they will operate limited relief flights from March 5 to assist stranded passengers after US-Israeli strikes on Iran triggered widespread airspace closures and disrupted global travel. Qatar Airways announced that its flights will depart from Muscat, Oman, to six European destinations, including London, Berlin, and Rome, as well as from Riyadh to Frankfurt. These would be the airline’s first flights since Feb. 28, when its Doha hub was shut after the strikes on Iran, according to airline service Flightradar24.
