This facility is now serving as a massive storage hub specifically used by dozens of airplanes from major carriers like Qatar Airways due to ongoing regional tensions and flight restrictions elsewhere. The airport has effectively transformed into an emergency holding ground where aircraft are being sent back on the right side, mirroring logistical responses seen during previous global crises such as COVID-19.
