Sejak serangan AS-Israel terhadap Iran dimulai pada 28 Februari 2026, yang meningkat menjadi perang udara regional, lebih dari 21.000 penerbangan telah dibatalkan di pusat-pusat Teluk termasuk Dubai, Doha, dan Abu Dhabi, menjebak puluhan ribu orang. Setelah pemulihan operasi terbatas awal pada 2 Maret, bandara utama tetap dibatasi hingga 3-4 Maret, dengan maskapai seperti Emirates, Etihad, dan Qatar Airways memprioritaskan repatriasi di tengah seruan evakuasi pemerintah.

Perang udara, yang meningkat selama akhir pekan dengan serangan yang memicu pembalasan Iran, kini telah mengganggu penerbangan selama hampir seminggu. Data Flightradar24 menunjukkan 21.300 pembatalan di tujuh bandara kunci sejak 28 Februari, dengan Dubai International—bandara tersibuk di dunia untuk lalu lintas internasional—sangat dibatasi untuk hari keempat pada 3 Maret. Progress on repatriations includes 60 UAE flights carrying 17,498 passengers. Qatar Airways extended Doha suspensions until March 6, pending airspace clearance. The US State Department issued 'DEPART NOW' alerts for Americans in Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, and others, organizing military/charter evacuations for about 3,000 citizens. This shutdown rivals COVID-19 impacts, hitting cargo worth billions and forcing Europe-Asia route narrowings. Oil prices rose 30% year-to-date, pressuring fuel costs. Airlines like British Airways, Lufthansa, and Air France canceled services, though Virgin Atlantic resumed some Dubai-London flights on March 4. Stranded travelers like chef Odies Turner in Doha vent frustration: “Mereka bilang, ‘Keluarlah’, tapi bagaimana caranya ketika ruang udara tertutup?” President Trump suggested the conflict could last weeks, delaying aviation recovery.

Apa yang dikatakan orang

Pelancong di X melaporkan frustrasi karena terdampar di bandara-bandara di Dubai dan Abu Dhabi, mengkritik maskapai seperti Etihad atas komunikasi buruk di tengah pembatalan penerbangan akibat serangan AS-Israel terhadap Iran. Penggemar penerbangan dan analis memperkirakan 300.000 hingga 1 juta penumpang terdampak secara global, menyoroti kekacauan dan armada yang diground di Emirates, Etihad, dan Qatar Airways. Beberapa unggahan mencatat pembukaan ruang udara sementara dan penerbangan repatriasi terbatas, menggarisbawahi dampak luas konflik terhadap perjalanan dunia.

As limited flights resumed from UAE hubs on March 2, 2026, amid ongoing US-Israel strikes on Iran and regional retaliation, airlines like Etihad and Emirates offered partial relief to stranded passengers. However, thousands of cancellations persist across Gulf airports, with full recovery uncertain as the conflict shows no signs of abating.

As the Middle East conflict enters its fifth day since US-Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28, 2026, airlines have now canceled over 15,000 flights worldwide to the region, stranding tens of thousands. Building on earlier disruptions exceeding 21,000 cancellations at key Gulf hubs, new safe air corridors are opening while most airlines extend suspensions.

Escalating tensions from US-Israeli strikes on Iran—codenamed 'Operation Epic Fury,' reportedly killing supreme leader Ali Khamenei—and Iranian missile retaliation have shut down airspace across the Middle East since February 28, 2026. Thousands of flights canceled daily, stranding hundreds of thousands at hubs like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Israel. Airlines including Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar Airways suspended operations with limited resumptions on March 2. The UK FCDO updated warnings for 21 countries, advising against all but essential travel to several nations and shelter-in-place for British nationals.

Direct flights from Dubai to Incheon resumed on March 6 amid the U.S. and Israel's airstrikes on Iran, stranding hundreds of thousands in the Middle East. The South Korean government is supporting the return of around 3,000 nationals stuck in the UAE through commercial and chartered flights. This development raises hopes for stranded Korean tourists to come home.

According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the escalation of tensions in Iran is disrupting air transport and tourist flows in the Middle East, leading to losses of at least 600 million dollars per day in international visitor spending. Major regional hubs are facing temporary closures and restrictions, weakening global connectivity. Despite these effects, the sector remains resilient and can recover quickly with appropriate support.
