Planes down everywhere

Airlines have cancelled over 15,000 flights as the conflict in Iran enters its fifth day, affecting major hubs like Dubai and Doha, according to Flightradar24 and Cirium. The cancellations have left planes and crews misplaced and stranded numerous passengers. Some airlines are organising evacuation flights, while the UAE is creating safe air corridors for increased flight capacity. Airlines such as Air France-KLM, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and others have adjusted their schedules, with many suspending flights to the Middle East. Cirium predicts cancellations will rise from 4-6 March.
