Thousands of flights canceled due to the war. The largest closure of the skies in the history of global civil aviation. A massive blockade that has also left many Sardinian tourists stranded. The epicenter of the ordeal: Dubai and its surrounding areas, the international air traffic hub that, since Saturday, has become a not-so-golden prison for unwanted vacations .
Giorgia Chessa, a 49-year-old from Cagliari, has been stuck there since Saturday, along with her husband, sister, and a couple of friends . "Around 3:00 PM, the airline informed us that the airspace was closed. At 8:00 PM (on Saturday), they asked us to leave the airport to get to the hotel. I think there were three thousand of us waiting for the buses. They left every thirty minutes." Now they're in a hotel, "if you can call it that."
The airspace is closed "until further notice": "It looks like they're rescheduling the flight for March 3rd. But everything is still uncertain."
Valeria Cardia, 36, from Belvì, has been through a difficult few hours together with Lorenzo Imbesi, 25, from Genoni . The two bartenders were supposed to start work at 6:40 PM on Saturday. At that time, a drone, "intercepted and neutralized, exploded less than a kilometer away from us . The managers of the facility where we work activated the emergency plan and we were evacuated." The second explosion occurred at dawn yesterday. "The company," Cardia and Imbesi explain, "has decided to remain closed. But we are confident: we live in one of the safest countries in the world."
