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.

The Authority praised the cooperation of national partners in ensuring the security of Qatari airspace.

Kuwait’s Civil Aviation also confirmed that air traffic at Kuwait International Airport has resumed, citing regional stability and coordination with international bodies.

Bahrain’s Civil Aviation Affairs also announced the complete reopening of the kingdom’s airspace.

While operations are returning to normal, travelers are advised to check with airlines, as delays and schedule changes may still occur.
