PIA Halts Flights Amid Gulf Tensions
- On Monday, Pakistan International Airlines halted its scheduled air services to several Gulf destinations, including Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Dubai, in response to rising tensions in the region.
- The suspension followed Iranian missile strikes targeting U.S. bases in Qatar and Iraq, which were retaliations for American air attacks on Iran's nuclear sites.
- Qatar closed its airspace temporarily after Iran attacked the US Al Udeid Air Base, which hosts about 10,000 troops and is the largest US base in the Middle East.
- A spokesperson for Qatar's Foreign Ministry condemned the Iranian strike on al-Udeid Air Base, describing it as an infringement on the country’s sovereignty and airspace as well as a breach of the United Nations Charter, and emphasized Qatar's intention to take appropriate action in line with international law.
- The suspension of flights and airspace closures by Gulf states reflect rising regional instability and prompt airlines to re-route flights until the situation stabilizes.
