Bahrain just announced a ban on all fights from Qatar along with break of diplomatic relations.. I expect more to come from Saudi & UAE..

Anyone planning to buy tickets on QR need to wait.. this will disrupt flights especially if the flight will go to or overfly these countries..

Gulf tensions - Bahrain/Egypt/Saudi & UAE cut ties with Qatar
Just hitting my bloomberg now... not sure if this is the correct area to post this
Bahrain closing off its airspace, kicking out Qataris domiciled in Bahrain etc... Seems like it will escalate quite quickly.
If the other states follow suit will this affect Qatar routing and services?? best to avoid the airline for the near term?
Thoughts appreciated.
