The strong winds and torrential rains that battered the UAE and, to a much lesser extent, Qatar today has created headaches for travelers flying between the two Gulf countries.

Several flights between Doha and the UAE were delayed, and at least one was canceled, while another was diverted. However, early this afternoon, reports suggested that operations at UAE airports were getting back to normal, after one flight from Abu Dhabi – QR1045 – landing at Hamad International Airport at 1:46pm, more than two hours behind schedule.
