Nigerian air travellers are facing a nightmare as flights to and from the Middle East are cancelled or delayed due to the escalating conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran. Several countries, including Qatar, Israel, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, have closed their airspaces, leaving thousands of passengers stranded.
Major airlines such as Qatar Airways, Emirates, Air India, Turkish Airlines, and Lufthansa have suspended or cancelled flights, citing safety concerns. The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has advised affected passengers to contact their airlines for updates on flight status and rebooking options.
The conflict has led to the closure of key hub airports in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha, disrupting global air travel. Over 1,000 flights have been cancelled, and hundreds of thousands of travellers are stranded worldwide. Airlines are offering refunds or rebooking options, but the situation remains uncertain.
The Nigerian government has warned citizens in affected regions to take precautions and avoid sensitive locations. The situation is being closely monitored, and updates will be provided as necessary.
