Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

Glad we cancelled our plans for a side trip to Tabuk in Saudi - via RUH - first Fly Dubai, then Houthis. Fingers crossed that it does not get too spicy in Abu Dhabi or Dubai.

Hopefully, but right now I can't imagine Iran is happy with the current status quo (they're starting to losing control of Hormuz right now, 70-80% of prewar oil is now flowing through it).

Thursday had an attack hit a plane at a gate with casualties and the attack on Saturday had little to no warning according to locals and they then saw the missile come in at the airport.

I don't understand Saudi's lack of action to retaliate against/ defend the attacks on its airspace. It is hugely armed from the US.

Saudi probably just deciding what to do. They have pledged to retaliate.

Perhaps we're seeing exactly how bad the anti ballistic missile stockpile state is right now.
