The UAE civil aviation authority has confirmed that the Qatar air embargo issued by the UAE only applies to airlines which are from Qatar or registered there. Identical statements have been issued by the authorities in Saudi and Bahrain. All Qatari or Qatari registered airlines are banned from landing or transiting airspace in these countries. However, the ban does not cover airlines from other countries who have crossed Qatar airspace. Private planes and charters from Qatar will need permission to transit the airspace of these three countries. Permission will need to be requested from the authorities 24 hours in advance and would need the names and nationalities of crew and passengers and details of cargo.
