Following Israel’s massive airstrikes on Iran, over 25 international airlines have suspended or diverted flights across the Middle East. Routes to Tel Aviv, Tehran, Amman, Baghdad, and Beirut have been severely affected. Airlines like Air India, Emirates, Delta, Lufthansa, Ryanair, El Al, and Air France have either halted operations or issued advisories, with suspensions extending into August and September for some carriers. The escalation has prompted mass flight disruptions and widespread passenger cancellations. Thousands are fleeing regional conflict zones amid rising fears of a full-scale war. Airlines cite "security concerns" and "unpredictable airspace" as key reasons behind the flight suspensions. (PC: HT)
