Etihad’s Boeing 787 aircraft taxied over the tarmac in Zaventem this morning, ready for departure to Abu Dhabi with 300 passengers on board. Until suddenly the message came: all flights were cancelled. Back to the gate, back home or to the hotel. For hundreds of thousands of travelers worldwide, the closure of airspace in the Middle East is a disaster. For the time being, no one can go to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha. “These three airports form the most important aviation hub in the world.”
