As of the morning of 06 June , Etihad Airways, Emirates and FlyDubai Airways will stop all of their flights to Doha until further notice.

Flights in and out of the Qatari capital are being halted, as a result of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Egypt confirming that they have broken off relations with Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorism.

The UAE government revealed today that it will be closing its airspace and seaports to Qataris and “banning all Qatari means of transportation.”

Etihad made the announcement on their website this morning, revealing that the last flight from Abu Dhabi to Doha will depart as EY391 at 21:35 (local time) on 5 June. The last flight from Doha to Abu Dhabi will depart as EY398 at 22:50 (local time) on 5 June. The aircraft for both flights have been upgraded and will have extra capacity.
