At least 26 commercial flights bound for Dubai, UAE, or Doha, Qatar, were diverted on Monday due to airspace closures in the Middle East, according to a CNN report citing aviation analytics firm Cirium.
Of these, 22 flights were headed to Doha, with 12 operated by Qatar Airways.
Some flights diverted to alternate airports along their routes, while others returned to their departure points.
Cirium also noted that another 39 flights from North America and 210 flights from Europe are scheduled to depart later today toward the Middle East but face potential cancellations if the airspace remains closed.
