The scheduled flight touched down shortly before 7 p.m., around 30 minutes late. It was the first passenger plane from Abu Dhabi since the escalation of the Middle East conflict. International air traffic has been severely restricted since then. Several countries have closed or only partially opened their airspace. Numerous flights were canceled or diverted.
Thousands of Swiss people are currently stuck in the Middle East – both because of vacations, for professional reasons or because of planned onward travel via international hubs in the region. It is currently completely unclear when the situation in air traffic will stabilize in the long term. (aargauerzeitung.ch)
