Terminal Chaos: Thousands Sleep In Airports As Middle East Hubs Remain Crippled

Middle Eastern airspace closures have triggered a breakdown at the world’s biggest global connecting hubs, leaving thousands of passengers sleeping on the floors of terminals while many more remain stranded far away from home. After the United States and Israeli strikes on Iran and subsequent retaliation, multiple nations shut down their airspace, including major connecting hubs in the region like Dubai International Airport (DXB), Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH), and Doha Hamad International Airport (DOH), all of which suspended or severely restricted flights.
