After Saudi Arabia gives way to Qatari airspace, Egypt will be the next country to end the blockade. Since 2017, these Arab countries, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, have banned flights and flights between the two countries with Qatar.

At that time, the United States designated Qatar for financing terrorism throughout the region. In this way, the neighboring countries built several blocks on their borders.

Since then, many flights have been subject to various restrictions with the lockdown, increasing the duration. This was the case of the flight to São Paulo (GRU), which initially had to technically make a stopover in Athens to refuel.

Starting from the next 18th day, Qatar Airways will resume operations to Egypt, according to information from the same company on its social media networks. The first flight will head to the capital, Cairo, with daily flights. Then, on the 18th of the month, two weekly operations will begin for Alexandria.
