Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

I would think refuelling would also be a big problem. Sri Lanka has already introduced as 4 day week for public employees and a fuel quota system due to fuel shortages.

Might be a gambit for a preferential fuel arrangement?

QR...what can I say, looks like they're preparing to close down operations yet won't allow fee free cancellations into April or May like other ME3 airlines are doing. FFS give your customers the flexibility. And don't get my started on VA just ditching customers that have booked QR flights though them.

Qatar Airways has extended its flexible rebooking and refund policy until April 30, 2026.
You can rebook twice free of charge for travel until May 31, or get a refund for the unused value of the ticket.

Jet fuel will be completely separate to those restrictions. The main problem will be getting jet fuel to Sri Lanka.

It would be good to see Sri Lanka utilized more as a hub between Australia and Europe. It's definitely more half way than SEA or the ME.

Just noticed a second one parked at a bag with stairs leading to it, but not much happening. Departure boards show the VA flight to DOH is cancelled.
