On Saturday, airlines significantly reduced their operations in the Middle East, canceling about half of their scheduled flights to Qatar and Israel. This reduction comes in response to recent US and Israeli military actions against Iran.
According to preliminary data from Cirium, a notable data provider, the impact was widespread, affecting flights particularly to the region.
Kuwait saw approximately 28% of its flights canceled, contributing to a total of 24% flight cancellations across the Middle East.
