Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain reopen airspace after brief closure

Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain have reopened their airspace following a precautionary suspension triggered by Iran's attack on a US air base near Doha.

Early Tuesday local time, Qatar’s General Civil Aviation Authority announced the resumption of air traffic and a return to normal operations after taking necessary safety measures.
