JUST IN:
🇬🇧🇮🇷UK PM Starmer announces that the United Kingdom has entered the WAR against Iran:
"Our forces are active and British planes are in the sky today, as part of co-ordinated regional defensive operations to protect our people, our interests and our allies."
Reddit's sole motto is to support whatever the opposite is of the government
And not to support what is right.
Right/wrong is not even in their dictionary
Sometimes, Reddit infuriates me. The heavy leftist tilt is crazy on that platform, and it it to that level, and they can't differentiate between right and wrong.

Reddit has no thought process, that Iran has attacked various civilian infra over the UAE region (Era Tower, Bahrain; Dubai Hotel; Kuwait Intl Airport..)
They are blind.
Atleast, on X, we know, when to condemn or the support the action of the gov in power.

Dubai just shut down. The busiest international airport on earth. Closed. Indefinitely.
Dubai International and Al Maktoum International both suspended all operations on February 28 per official Dubai Airports statement. Over 280 flights canceled. 250 more delayed. The airspace that handles more international passengers than any hub on the planet went dark this morning because Iranian ballistic missiles were flying through it.
Now read the airline list and understand the scale of what just broke.
Emirates. Grounded. Etihad. Grounded. Qatar Airways. Suspended all flights to and from Doha after Qatari airspace closed. Air India. Every single flight to every destination in the entire Middle East. Suspended indefinitely. Turkish Airlines. Suspended flights to Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Syria, Qatar, and the UAE until at least March 2. Lufthansa. Dubai suspended. Air France. Tel Aviv and Beirut suspended. Wizz Air. Israel, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Amman suspended until March 7. British Airways. Affected. Virgin Atlantic. Affected. Japan Airlines. Affected. Norwegian Air, LOT Polish, Scandinavian Airlines, Aegean, Iberia, Air Arabia, PIA, Saudia, Air Algerie. All affected. All grounded or rerouting.
This is not a regional disruption. This is the global aviation network breaking at one of its most critical nodes.
Dubai is not just an airport. It is the single largest connecting hub between Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Every flight from Mumbai to London, from Singapore to Frankfurt, from Nairobi to New York that routes through the Gulf is now either canceled, delayed, or burning extra fuel on thousand-mile detours around closed airspace. IndiGo just suspended flights to Almaty, Baku, Tashkent, and Tbilisi until March 28. Not March 2. March 28. A month of Central Asian connectivity erased because Iranian missiles crossed the flight paths.
The cost is compounding by the hour. Rerouted flights burn more fuel when oil is spiking past 100 dollars a barrel because the same conflict that closed the airspace is threatening the strait that moves 21 million barrels a day. Airlines are paying surge prices for fuel to fly longer routes around a war zone that did not exist yesterday morning. Every hour the airspace stays closed, the losses multiply across carriers already operating on thin margins.
And here is what nobody is calculating yet. Dubai’s economy runs on connectivity. Tourism. Trade. Finance. Logistics. All of it depends on DXB being open. The UAE just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory with a civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from missile debris. The country that built its entire economic model on being the safe, neutral, connected hub of the Middle East is now closed for business because the country it had no quarrel with fired missiles through its airspace.
Iran did not just attack military bases this morning. Iran shut down the economic engine of the Gulf.
That is a cost Tehran cannot afford to repay and the UAE will not forget.
Qatar, Emirates and Etihad collectively currently have 94 aircraft in the air. We assume that their OCC’s (Operations Control Centres) are working hard at the moment.
At 2100 hours local time, Mumbai airport has come out with a NOTAM for not accepting any more diversions. Valid until 0800 hrs tomorrow morning local time
A0313/26 NOTAMN
Q) VABF/QMPXX/IV/BO/A/000/999/1906N07252E005
A) VABB B) 2602281530 C) 2603010230
E) PRKG SPACE NOT AVBL FOR DIVERTED/DIVERSION ACFT
DUE TO PAUCITY OF PRKG SPACE.
ALL OPERATORS ARE ADZ TO COOPERATE
Bros, Iran's attacking (most of them are failed ones) but those which are on target, on civilian buildings!!!
This state should be wiped from the face of the earth. My support is with @realDonaldTrump@netanyahu
This flight, had 1h20m to deboard and reboard, but alas, failed.
Now, Indigo does this within 45mins.
As a frequent traveller, time>complimentary meals.
What does AI need to do for 1h20m+ to turn around a flight? And app. It's not enough
Thx for my reading my mini ted talk
There's a reason why Indigo is currently the market leader in Indian Aviation by a margin
I am on an AI flight, and it was supposed to take off at 7.20pm (we are still at the gate btw when I am writing)
This aircraft, landed in BOM at 5:57pm and was at the gate at 6:02pm....
This is not women humbling men, it's just showing how women are extremely entitled.
Was the seat, reserved for pregnant women or senior citizens? If not, there is NO argument that the man should've given his seat.
No wonder, why we have the entitled tag to us
I was on a train and a pregnant woman was asking for a seat. I offered mine, but she said she couldn’t sit there because it was in the center and she was already feeling nauseous and suffocated. So she asked a guy at the corner. He said, “You can sit on my lap.” Before anyone could react, a grandma behind him tapped his shoulder and said, “Then I’ll sit on YOUR lap.” She sat on his lap, the pregnant woman took the grandma’s seat, and the entire train witnessed instant justice delivered by a 70-year-old legend.
