The bold move is said due to Qatar’s alleged support for terrorists groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda.
Qatar has denied the allegations and called the decision “unjustified” with “no basis in fact”.
All land, air, and sea access to Qatar has been shut down as of Monday.
The drastic decision has caused mass confusion and chaos between Qataris especially those who are residing in other Middle Eastern countries.
Egypt and the UAE have issued a notice to the Qatari ambassadors to leave in two days while the Qatar government has asked citizens to leave the UAE within 14 days.
Since the Qatar airspace has been closed, this decision has not only affected its citizens but also tourists or travellers who have bought tickets via several Middle Eastern airlines to and from Qatar.
The airlines that have suspended all flights involving Qatar so far are – Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia Airlines), Air Arabia, Emirates, Etihad Airways, and FlyDubai. These airlines have issued a statement regarding their decision.
