It’s Bedlam At Doha’s International Airport With Huge Flight Diversions In Place

Doha’s international airport, Hamad Airport has descended into chaos with huge flight diversions and delays in place. 

The diversions are due to the closure of UAE and Saudi airspace for Qatar, causing planes to have to be redirected. 

Etihad has suspended its flights to Qatar as part of the airspace closure, effective tomorrow.

It’s all part of the UAE and Saudi’s move to severe diplomatic ties with Qatar due to its support of terrorism reportedly.
