If you're traveling from or through any airport in the Middle East this week, you're most likely dealing with travel disruptions and cancellations.
Early Saturday morning, the U.S. and Israel launched missile strikes on Iran, and Iran retaliated with its own strikes against not only Israel but also multiple U.S. allies in the region, including the United Arab Emirates. Airspace and airports were closed throughout the region; affected airports included two of the world's busiest international airports, Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Doha's Hamad International Airport (DOH).
Although some airports and airlines have resumed limited service, more than 9,500 flights have been canceled so far, affecting travelers in the Middle East and beyond.
