Alates täna öösest on Qatar Airwaysi lennukitele keelatud siseneda Saudi Araabia, Bahreini, Egiptuse, Jeemeni ja AÜE õhuruumi. See tähendab, et sisuliselt on suurem osa Pärsia lahest, kus nad tegid oma laskumis- ja pöördemanöövreid, suletud. Kellel on blokaadi ajal vajadus lennata Qatar Airwaysiga (nagu minul), tekib ilmselt tõsiseid probleeme, hilinemisi; võimalik et kaupade puudust jne, nii et olge valmis halvimaks.
Al Jazeera nendib mõrult:
"The real problem would be if airspace closes. Not just for Qatar Airways passengers, but also for cargo, like food and fresh fruit that is flown into the country," Peaford told Al Jazeera.
He added that there are two main air routes in and out of Qatar - over Saudi Arabia and Bahrain with the latter controlling most of the Gulf air space.
"If Qatar is banned, I can't see a way out of the country for Qatari aircraft," he added.
