Sydney Airport Chaos as Middle East Conflict Disrupts Flights

Stranded travelers are sleeping at Sydney airport as the escalating US-Iran conflict has closed Gulf airspace and led to widespread flight cancellations.

Australia's airports peak body has warned of "significant disruptions" to global aviation in coming days after the Middle East erupted into conflict and flights to the region were cancelled.

The closure of Gulf airspace has forced numerous flights to be rerouted or canceled, leaving passengers stranded at airports including Sydney, where travelers have been forced to sleep on terminal floors.
