On June 5, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Kingdom of Bahrain announced the severance of diplomatic ties with the State of Qatar. This was followed by similar statements of diplomatic withdrawal by Egypt, Yemen, Libya and Maldives. As a result, Etihad Airways, Emirates Airlines, and other regional carriers have suspended flights to and from Doha. In view of these developments, Filipino travelers are advised to consult their travel agents to ensure unhampered travel arrangements.
