Air travel across the Middle East has been thrown into turmoil as escalating hostilities between the United States, Israel, and Iran lead to widespread airspace restrictions, flight cancellations, and rerouting.

Thousands of passengers are being affected, including Singaporeans caught in the region, facing delays, uncertainty, and difficult decisions about when they can return home.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong hears from Annabelle Siena Lim, a Singaporean entrepreneur currently in Dubai, about her experience navigating sudden flight disruptions and the challenges of rebooking amid rapidly changing schedules.

We also speak with William Huang, Vice President at Super Travel Groups and Outbound Committee Member at NATAS, on how Singapore travel agencies are supporting anxious customers and responding in real time to the crisis.

Finally, independent aviation analyst Brendan Sobie from Sobie Aviation breaks down the broader impact on global aviation, including how Middle East airspace closures are affecting long-haul routes between Asia and Europe, potential fare increases, and how long the disruptions could last.
