France Suspends All Flights to Saudi Arabia and UAE for Seven Days
✈️ PARIS — France grounds Gulf routes while its diplomats sit in an Iranian cell. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Paris is effectively declaring the Gulf a war zone for civil aviation. Combined with the Tehran diplomat detentions, France is now absorbing the crisis on two fronts simultaneously. Suspending Saudi and UAE routes cuts European connectivity to the region's two largest non-belligerent hubs — Riyadh and Dubai handle hundreds of European transit passengers daily. Air France exposure and European reinsurers take the immediate hit.
