Qatar Airways said Wednesday it will seek compensation for losses sustained from an “illegal airspace blockade” imposed since 2017 by four Middle East nations.

The announcement came a day after the International Court of Justice ruled Qatar could challenge airspace restrictions imposed by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt over three years ago before the UN’s International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
