Algeria closes airspace to UAE aircraft, severs diplomatic ties

Algeria has severed diplomatic ties with the UAE and will close its airspace to UAE-registered aircraft, with an exemption for Emirati flights to and from Algiers until end of 2026. The move escalates a bilateral rift, likely tied to regional rivalries in North Africa and the Gulf. The exemption suggests a managed rupture, but the airspace closure could disrupt regional aviation and signal deeper geopolitical alignment shifts.
