QATAR'S state airline is set to become the biggest loser from the diplomatic breakdown in the Persian Gulf - with competitors in Dubai and Abu Dhabi also set to suffer.
Some 76 daily flights are likely to be grounded, of which 52 are operated by Qatar Airways, after Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) suspended ties with Qatar, according to data from scheduling firm OAG.
