Qatar Airways (QR, Doha Int'l) could lose its Saudi Arabian, Bahraini and United Arab Emirates (UAE) overflight rights after the latter three Gulf states recalled their ambassadors from Doha in protest at Qatar’s alleged support for the Muslim Brotherhood and involvement in regional conflicts.
In line with its non-interference policy, Kuwaiti newspaper "Al-Qabas" says the Gulf Cooperation Council had agreed to raise the following points with the Qataris following a meeting in November last year: silence Egyptian Islamic scholar Sheikh Yousif al-Qaradawi for his criticism of Gulf states; stop Doha-based al-Jazeera network from airing “negative media” toward the gulf states; and end support of the Muslim Brotherhood.
