Bahrain will open its airspace to Qatar as of Jan. 11, the civil aviation affairs authority said on Sunday, following a deal by Arab states last week to end the Gulf row with Doha.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have already announced reopening air, land and sea entry points to Qatar.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister had said at the summit that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt agreed to restore all ties with Qatar which were severed over Doha’s support for terrorism.
