The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that air space around the Persian Gulf remained largely closed for the third day in a row on Monday, frustrating stranded travellers as the U.S.-Israel war on Iran continued to spread to other countries in the Middle East. A triple-bylined item led by Eric Atkins reports that Global Affairs Canada told Canadians in the region to shelter in place or consider leaving through land borders if it can be done safely, but not to expect government assistance departing. Emirates resumed a small number of flights on Monday night, local time, in the Gulf region, but warned customers most planes were halted and the schedule could change on a moment's notice. A small number of flights operated by regional carriers also appeared to be running, including Kuwait Airways and FlyDubai. Air Canada said on Monday it has suspended flights to Tel Aviv and Dubai until March 23 as the conflict in Iran and the surrounding region continues. The airline said it is trying to fly back crew members stranded in Tel Aviv and Dubai. The 14-member crew in Dubai were scheduled to fly to Toronto on Saturday, but that flight was cancelled. All but two crew members on layover in Tel Aviv have left Israel.
