Dozens of flights from Prague to Middle East cancelled amid regional escalation

A total of 32 flights from Václav Havel Airport Prague to Middle Eastern destinations were cancelled over the weekend following escalating tensions in the region. The disruption comes after Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran and subsequent retaliatory action, prompting several countries to close their airspace. Airport officials advised passengers to wait for updates from their airlines. Check-in counters for Qatar Airways and Emirates remain open for those already at the airport. Thousands of Czechs are currently in the Middle East, many in Dubai. Analysts warn the conflict could affect global transport, oil prices and trade.
