A sudden shutdown of key pieces of Middle Eastern airspace on February 28, 2026, triggered flights to nowhere, with long-haul jets forced to turn back or divert after hours in the skies. After US-Israeli air strikes on Iran and rapid retaliation, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar quickly closed airspace, and Dubai International Airport (DXB) also quickly took steps to suspend flight operations. This effectively crippled the region’s commercial infrastructure.
