The Middle East conflict has blown up the layovers that many travelers make on their way to Asian destinations such as Vietnam, South Korea, China, Thailand, or India. Airlines like Emirates Airlines, Qatar Airways, or Etihad Airways had become an essential pillar in the connection between Europe and Asia, with a very strong offering and convenient connections in their hubs in Dubai, Doha, or Abu Dhabi. The transit potentially affected by this new crisis amounts to 1.1 million annual passengers passing through Barcelona airport, according to a report prepared by the consultancy GPA to which ARA has had access.
