Major flight disruptions affected several Asian aviation hubs on February 28, 2026, with Boeing 787-related delays and at least 35 flight cancellations reported across key routes.
Airports in dubai, usa, thailand, china, and russia were impacted, causing significant inconvenience to passengers.
Several carriers, qatar airways, southwest airlines, and indigo, adjusted schedules in response to operational challenges.
The disruptions were linked in part to aircraft availability issues, also involving the recent war between iran and israel, though airlines worked to minimise onward network impacts through rescheduling and aircraft substitutions where possible.
Such large-scale delays highlight the interconnected nature of Asian aviation networks, where operational challenges at one hub can quickly cascade across multiple cities.
Passengers were advised to monitor airline communications and airport advisories for real-time updates as carriers restored normal operations.
