The escalating war in West Asia has triggered the most significant disruption to global air transport since the COVID-19 pandemic. Following retaliatory strikes by Iran on US bases in the Gulf, key aviation hubs—including Dubai International Airport and Kuwait’s main airport—have sustained damage and faced operational shutdowns. The conflict has forced Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE to partially or fully close their skies, leading to the cancellation of over 2,700 flights and delays for 12,000 more worldwide. Major international carriers, such as Emirates, Lufthansa, and Air India, have suspended regional services, while African airlines, including EgyptAir, Ethiopian Airlines, and Kenya Airways, have halted routes to major Gulf cities. The crisis has left thousands of travellers stranded, prompting the South African government to issue urgent advisories for citizens to use land borders. Ghana, Uganda, and Nigeria have also issued travel alerts for their citizens.

African kick out Asian in African. We have stupid leaders in African
sad coz I’m frequent flyers with Ethiopian 🇪🇹 I really miss it….I love Ethiopian airplane….
THE GODS OUR LANDS WILL JUDGE THEM ACCORDING TO THIS THEIR USELESS WARS
Africans have no friends, Arabs did the slave trade in Africa and the European did their slave trade in Africa, we both know that none is better than none 🤔even if they will want to play one against the other on Africans, 😅😅but simply the Bible says satan is a deceiver father of lies…Africans remember that, so keep your lands ,don't sell to no none Africans or you will pay the price deeply…no one is a blackman friend but a black regardless of religion or tribes.
It's interesting that you all are referring to the Middle East as West Asia now. Any other time you would be calling it the Middle East. The Media is so complicit in the games that political leaders play.
Is this IA
God help us all Amen
We are calling upon̈ God's intervention Lord hear our prayers
1. NOTICE how despite the fact that there are no South Africans reported as stranded in Israel, but many are IN SAUDI ARABIA AND QATAR, Ramaphosa is not advising South Africans to stay safe in Saudi Arabia or Qatar or Iran,
2. While all countries urge their citizens to exercise travel precautions to IRAN and the gulf countries, SOUTH AFRICA IS ONLY ADVISING it's citizens to exit Israel through Jordan. FIXATED ON HATRED FOR ISRAEL
WWARS IN MY COUNTRY MINERAL PRODUCTION STOPS UNTIIL THE WAR IS FIXED NO SHIPPMENTS OF OFF AFRICAN SOIL…

Nelson Mandela was the person that brought all people in South Africa together. He was the best person for a dialogue between 2 or more countries. Since then, we don't have a person with his wonderful personality. We honour Nelson Mandela's legacy!!🙏
Oh Father God Redeemer our African Continent from this Situation 🙏
Instead of talking about the problems and its desruptions why not critizised the usa who instigated alll this ??
