Airports across Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Qatar, China and other parts of Asia logged 5,098 flight delays and 339 cancellations, with Beijing Capital and Dubai among the hardest-hit hubs. The disruption has been driven by airlines rerouting around parts of Gulf airspace amid heightened military tensions, compounding capacity constraints in markets such as China where civilian corridors are narrower. The U.S. State Department also issued a worldwide travel alert, adding uncertainty for passengers transiting Asia and the Middle East. The disruption reflects geopolitical spillovers into aviation operations rather than a direct hit to energy supply or financial-asset pricing.
