JAKARTA - Oman Air on Thursday announced that flights to seven destinations were canceled until April 15, following the ongoing closure of regional airspace, while services to Amman and Dammam are scheduled to resume on April 1.
The national airline of Oman said in a post on the social media X, the routes affected were Dubai, Bahrain, Doha, Kuwait, Copenhagen, Baghdad, and Khasab, quoted from Anadolu (27/3).
It added that passengers with affected bookings can manage their reservations through the website or mobile app, while the rest of the network continues to operate as usual.
The disruption comes as airlines across the region and beyond continue to adjust schedules due to ongoing armed conflicts in the Middle East, involving Iran, Israel, and the US, which have led to repeated airspace closures and widespread operational disruptions.
Most airspace in Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and Syria remains closed, while Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar also face restrictions, according to flight risk monitors.
It is known that regional escalation has continued to increase since the US and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran on February 28, which has so far killed more than 1,340 people, including the then Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
Tehran retaliated with drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, along with Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf states hosting US military assets, causing casualties and infrastructure damage as well as disrupting global markets and flights.
