Do not assume it is automatically due. The cause, applicable passenger-rights regime and the airline's response all matter.

Gulf airspace risk advisory remains active as route disruption continues
European aviation authorities continue to flag elevated operational risk in parts of Gulf airspace. Airports across the region are not uniformly closed, but airline suspensions, rerouting and route-specific cancellations can continue at short notice.

Current reporting says the EASA Gulf advisory remains active and allows necessary arrivals and departures with risk mitigation, while airline operations remain route-specific. The distinction matters: an active security advisory is not the same as a blanket Gulf airspace closure.
Operational conditions can change quickly. Check the airline and airport for live status before travelling.
Compensation is only one part of your rights
Security and airspace restrictions can affect fixed-compensation eligibility, but applicable care, rerouting and reimbursement obligations must be assessed separately for the passenger's actual route and operating carrier.
Refund or rerouting
A cancellation can create travel-remedy rights even where an extraordinary circumstance prevents fixed compensation.
Care and expenses
Where the applicable rules provide a duty of care, reasonable meals, accommodation or transport can remain separate from compensation.
What to do now
Check the operating carrier immediately before departure, especially for Gulf connections, and retain any airline-issued reason for cancellation, rerouting or delay.
