Dubai, Doha, and Six Gulf Destinations Among Routes Affected Until March 31
Oman Air has announced the suspension of flights to nine international destinations as regional tensions and airspace restrictions continue to disrupt air travel across the Middle East. The airline confirmed that flights to and from Amman, Dubai, Manama, Doha, Dammam, Kuwait City, Copenhagen, Baghdad, and Khasab will remain cancelled through March 31, 2026.
Disrupted Routes and Passenger Guidance
While Oman Air’s global network remains largely operational, these nine routes have been halted due to ongoing safety concerns and closed airspace in several parts of the region. Passengers holding tickets for affected flights are encouraged to rebook or manage their reservations using the airline’s website or mobile application. Oman Air is working closely with impacted travellers to provide alternative options and support.
Regional Tensions Drive Aviation Uncertainty
The widespread flight suspensions are the latest fallout from heightened tensions and security incidents in the region. Airlines across the Gulf and beyond have been forced to reroute, delay, or cancel flights as they monitor evolving security threats. Earlier this week, Dubai International Airport experienced a temporary shutdown after a drone-related fuel tank fire, underlining the volatility faced by carriers and passengers alike.
Broader Impact on Middle East Air Travel
Oman Air’s decision mirrors a broader trend, as carriers throughout the Middle East make rapid adjustments to ensure passenger safety and comply with airspace restrictions. With multiple major hubs—such as Dubai, Doha, and Kuwait City—affected, travellers are urged to check real-time updates and confirm their flight status before heading to the airport.
Oman Air flights to nine cities, including key Gulf capitals and Copenhagen, are suspended until at least March 31, as security concerns and regional airspace closures continue to impact travel. Passengers should stay in close contact with the airline for the latest information and alternative arrangements.
