The conflict in the Middle East between the US, Israel and Iran has set off a cascade of travel disruption around the entire planet. Airspace across much of the region remains closed, with Gulf state airlines from the major global hubs continuing to cancel flights. However, respite came on March 2nd for at least a few of the tens of thousands stranded, with a few international airlines resuming a small number of flights to repatriate those who'd been stuck on the Arabian peninsula.
