Rumors are flying that QR will be denied landing rights at Saudi and Emirati airports.

Ben, do you have any insider knowledge about this?

[USER=4]@Lucky[/USER] [USER=7]@Tiffany[/USER] : Financial Times has a very detailed article describing why/how the Gulf states decided to cut diplomatic relations with Qatar and bar them from airspace. If the reporting is correct, Qatar paid $1B ransom to Iran and al-Qaeda to release a falconry hunting group caught in Iraq. Simply insane situation.

UAE and Bahrain have closed Qatar Aurways to their Ports and Airspace. Not seven Gulf states as your Blog states. Why are US Blogs so shoddy or just plain untruthful!
