  "summary": "Emirates has suspended its flights to Bahrain and Kuwait due to the regional war, while Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways have resumed operations. Prior to the conflict, Emirates operated three daily flights to Bahrain and four daily services to Kuwait. However, as of August 9 and 10, there are no Emirates flights listed for these destinations. Etihad has resumed one daily service to Kuwait and four weekly flights to Bahrain, while Qatar Airways has added daily services to these destinations. The disruption extends beyond UAE airlines, with international carriers also adjusting schedules due to airspace restrictions and operational uncertainty.",
