"Of the major international airlines serving the region, Qatar Airways has been hit the hardest, with 4,929 flights, or nearly 89% of its schedule, cancelled between February 28 and March 24."
"Emirates has cancelled 2,280 flights, or about 44% of its schedule."

The conflict is affecting not only direct operations but also causing economic inconvenience across the Gulf region, as highlighted by experts in the field.
