Stranded in Dubai: Wealthy Pay €200K for Private Flights Amid Gulf War

• Tens of thousands of airline passengers are stranded in Dubai due to the Iran war spreading across the Gulf region.
• Wealthy travelers are paying up to 200,000 euros (USD 232,000) for private flights to Europe from safe airports.
• Demand for charter flights has skyrocketed as major airports in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha, Qatar, were closed.
• Travelers journey overland to Muscat, Oman, or Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, then take expensive charter or commercial flights.
• Costs have doubled due to aircraft scarcity, repositioning expenses, and operator risk assessments; Muscat Airport is overloaded.
