Closure of Kuwait’s airport evokes previous escalation

Kuwait Airways has issued a statement on social media announcing it is rescheduling flights due to airspace closures.

The last time we saw this was during the previous escalation from February to April, when there were closures of airspace around airports across the Gulf nations that really caused chaos for hundreds of thousands of passengers.

Some were only passing through the region and had to stop and stay for sometimes weeks on end, because no flights were taking them out.
