Following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, airlines continue avoiding airspace over Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Israel, per FlightRadar24 . Flights are rerouted via the Caspian Sea (north) or Egypt and Saudi Arabia (south), inflating fuel consumption, crew costs, and travel times . Singapore Airlines cancelled its Singapore–Dubai flights, and carriers like El Al, Arkia, and Israir suspended rescue operations through June 27 due to soaring security risks . Aviation authorities and OPSGROUP warn pilots of heightened danger from missile/drone activity in the region .
