TEL AVIV-<\/strong> A wave of international flight suspensions followed Israel’s unprecedented airstrikes on Iran, causing major disruptions across Middle Eastern air routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As regional tensions escalate, several global airlines have grounded or diverted services to destinations like Tel Aviv (TLV)<\/a>, Tehran (IKA), Beirut (BEY), and Amman (AMM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The action came after Israel claimed Iran was nearing nuclear weapon capability, prompting the largest aerial offensive in its history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran denies these allegations. Amid growing unrest and missile exchanges, airlines are reevaluating safety over critical regional airspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Israel’s airstrikes on Iran, major airlines like Emirates (EK)<\/a> and Etihad Airways (EY)<\/a> have suspended flights to Middle East destinations, including Tel Aviv and Tehran<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conflict has disrupted air travel, with carriers such as Lufthansa (LH)<\/a> and Qatar Airways (QR)<\/a> cancelling routes to Amman (AMM) and Baghdad (BGW) through June and July 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
