Just a few hours after the Iranian air strike at the Al-Adeid base in the United States in the capital of Qatar, Doha, the state gulf reopened the air space through one of the busiest air nodes in the world.
Fast re -opening, however, did not prevent significant disruption to travel at Hamad International Airport in Doha and hundreds of passengers stuck and frustrated.
Chaos at the airport
Ground staff at Hamad International Airport, which is usually known for its quiet, efficient and quiet luxury environment, travelers were amazed who were looking for a way out after the escalatory conflict in the Middle East crossed their flight plans, Bloomberg reported.
Hundreds of stuck customers attacked transmission tables, crowded escalators and waiting lounges.
“The temperatures have definitely burned,” said Howard Gottlieb, 68, from Arlington in Texas, whose return flight to Dallas after a trip to Africa was canceled. “People started screaming and pushing. Others just lay in the middle of the crowd,” the press agency said.
Shut down the fragility of the air industry
The situation shows the fragility of the aerospace industry, which was forced to make short -term modifications of flight routes and travel plans because it reaches regional conflicts from Ukraine to the Middle East.
The chaotic scenes that are played at Hamad Airport Stand in sharp contrast with smooth surgery exceeding the globe will throw a luxury service that placed SuperConnect hubs on the map as Doha and Dubai and turned them into air trends.
The CEO of Qatar Airways Badr Al-Meer, who had previously processed airport operations, is now in its second year of management of the airline. The Company has already ensured that it has already provided travel alerts with details on compensation and information about the change of flight, the press agency reported.
Dubai operations return to normal
In Dubai, which is not far from Doha, the operation quickly returned to normal in the Emirates, because the airspace did not close there as much as in Qatar.
The airline, the largest international carrier in the world, stated in its statement that “passengers had experienced a minimum disturbance of their travel” and that the company “quickly activated its robust emergency and disruption”.
The watches, which are usually associated with the operations of the airlines in the Gulf of Persian, was brought up late on Monday evening before Iran attacked the American air base in the country. This step led Katar to suspend transit through his airspace, while flights in and out of the International Airport in Dubai, the busiest center in the world, were also temporarily stopped, Bloomberg said.
Flights diverted all over the world
Dozens of flights from several commercial airlines were diverted to safer airports in the Egyptian capital Cairo, India and Belgium, including flight from London and Zurich to destinations such as Dubai and Qatar.
