Qatar Airways (QR, Doha Int'l) could lose its Saudi Arabian, Bahraini and United Arab Emirates (UAE) overflight rights after the latter three Gulf states recalled their ambassadors from Doha in protest at Qatar’s alleged support for the Muslim Brotherhood and involvement in regional conflicts.
In line with its non-interference policy, Kuwaiti newspaper "Al-Qabas" says the Gulf Cooperation Council had agreed to raise the following points with the Qataris following a meeting in November last year: silence Egyptian Islamic scholar Sheikh Yousif al-Qaradawi for his criticism of Gulf states; stop Doha-based al-Jazeera network from airing “negative media” toward the gulf states; and end support of the Muslim Brotherhood.
However, a GCC meeting on March 5 revealed Doha had not implemented any of the agreement's points leading to the diplomatic fall out.
Among the punitive measures the three states are considering taking include the revocation of overflight rights.
Qatar's policies have also landed it in hot water with North Africa.
In the last six months, Egypt has imposed restrictive measures on Qatar Airways flights into its territory while Libyan vigilante militias have frequently harassed Qatar Airways flights often forcing them to either divert or return to Doha.
Both nations protest Doha's continuing support for the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist parties.

Re: Interdiction de survol de certains pays
Encore plus grave que les droits de survol le Qatar ( pays) perdrait aussi sa seule voie terrestre via l'Arabie Saoudite si ces mesures étaient appliquées

Re: Interdiction de survol de certains pays
Ce qui est curieux c'est que l'article n'aborde que les survols et pas les vols QR vers les UAE, Bahrein et Arabie Saoudite. Ni des vols des autres compagnies depuis ces pays en direction du Qatar.
