All Qatar Airlines flights denied entering Bahrain, U.A.E and Saudi airspace starting tomorrow (06-06-2017) due to being accused of cooperating with terrorism. Consequence will probably be most part of QR registered aircraft will stay on the ground until further notice. If you're travelling try alternative routes and airlines.
Qatar Airlines is one of the largest airlines operating out of that area, with their surrounding countries forbidding them from flying in their airspace leaves very few options left with Qatar being a very small country areavise. The only option left is very limited and is to enter Qatar airspace through a small corridor from Iran. With their large fleet and routes to over 150 destinations it will hit the airline and its passengers hard.
"Abu Dhabi, UAE (CNN)Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates have broken off relations with Qatar, in the worst diplomatic crisis to hit Gulf Arab states in decades.
The three Gulf countries and Egypt have accused Qatar of supporting terrorism and destabilizing the region. Qatar -- which shares its only land border with Saudi Arabia -- has rejected the accusations calling them "unjustified" and "baseless". Yemen and the Maldives also cut ties with Qatar.
Qatari citizens have been told they have 14 days to leave Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE, while those countries also banned their own citizens from entering Qatar. "

Sounds like the Saudis don't want to waste any time with those new American weapons wasting away in storage.
