Gulf Air has expanded temporary operations from King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, as the ongoing closure of Bahraini airspace disrupts Gulf air travel.
The carrier is operating special flights to London, Mumbai, and Bangkok, repositioning aircraft from Bahrain to maintain passenger connectivity during service suspensions.
Qatar Airways has resumed a limited schedule from Hamad International Airport, connecting Doha to major hubs across Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America-including London, New York, Paris, Delhi, and Cairo-under temporary authorizations.
The airline emphasized these flights do not signal full resumption of commercial operations.
Up to 8,000 passengers were stranded in Qatar, with the government covering hotel stays and extending visas.
