Impact of a wider war on ME3
With tensions rising between Iran and Israel, multiple airlines have rerouted around Iranian airspace. Qantas have cancelled direct Perth-Heathrow flights to avoid overflight.
My question is, what effect will this have on the ME3, who are mostly all apparently in a bit of a boom currently? You would imagine it will greatly affect world travel in general, but specifically to and through the Middle East. Will oil prices explode and are we potentially looking at the start of a new downturn?
Apologies for the wholly negative view.

Assuming Iranian and Northern Iraqi airspace closures, ME3 would all have to route north via Egypt, which would be quite a bottleneck and would affect ultra long range flights to the US due to extra distance. Libya, Sudan, Syria and Ukraine are closed.

The whole thing is a poo show. They did attack the embassy but somehow the “right to defend itself” only applies to them. There is legitimacy under international law over this retaliation and albeit the rhetoric is very much on Israel’s side, we’d hope that there are grown ups in the room as these people simply want chaos. We had enough of trouble as an industry in the last five years and this is the last thing we need for our livelihoods, whether you fly in the ME or not. I believe that escalation would lead to the beginning of a dry period. Oil barrel will inevitably go up and there would be supply issues due to trade routes closures. Also, the potential to retaliation in our home soils through terrorist cells can cause nervousness in the general public. People tend not to fly to certain places because of fear, remember the Tunisia beach attack led
to near destruction of tourism there, my own airline ceased their contract there altogether because of it. This is not looking good, and all because our leaders are weak and don’t have the cojones to tell the Israelis to go to bed as they did enough nonsense already. I feel that Emirates and Qatar will slow recruitment until there’s some clarity on how the markets will be affected. Etihad survives because of rich leadership but they weren’t hiring enough as it is. They were all worried about losing pilots to Saudi so that’s the only positive for them, if it does escalate, nobody is moving.

The ME3, only QR and EK have serious projects in my view, specially QR with their money orders and capacity expansion at Doha airport but if people are scared of flying to ME or through it, now what?
low demand, high fuel costs, management goes after T&C’s, unhappy pilots leave, no jobs back home because let’s face, Europe and UK are over. UK for example has an inflation rate of 4% and the highest energy bills in the world. An ME wide war will make it extremely unattractive to live there and pay even more to survive on heavily taxed salaries. High crime, a number of post Brexit issues, crap weather etc. Every angle you look at this there’s poo, al over it.
I find it extremely concerning. Just an opinion.

Because bombing civilians, murdering toddlers and babies, starving then to death based on their race and religion(palestinians are semites) is in fact, antisemitism.

70% of the people living in Israel are Jewish. Among those the vast majority are Sephardi and Ashkenazi. They aren't Semitic but Iberian and Northern European. On the other hand the majority of Arabs are semitic. So if you're going to use the anti-semitic card at least know who are "descendants of Sem" and who aren't. Taking into account all the events preceding what's happening right now and understanding that the people who are suffering weren't really looking for trouble (Either in Israel, Iran, Syria, Lebanon or Palestine) is not anti-semitism. We're all fed up with the crap that our politicians put us through but in the current events it's very clear who the bad guys are (not meaning that the others are the good guys either).
