In a dramatic escalation, Qatar has officially closed its airspace amid growing Iran-Israel tensions. The closure, confirmed via a NOTAM, directly affects Al Udeid Air Base—the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East and a key CENTCOM hub.
The decision has forced dozens of flights to divert or halt operations at Doha International Airport. Qatar’s Foreign Ministry cited regional security concerns. The move is being viewed as a precaution to shield Qatari airspace from fallout and reflects the region’s shifting calculus amid U.S. involvement in the conflict.
